| Very happy with his production, but he does do damage when teams don’t have solid bigs. I don’t want to be a downer, but i want to see him hold his own against them. Really wish his shot would come back too. Overall he’s a great player, but when that outside shooting is working he’s top 5. |

| Looks like a lot of people need to fill out those apology forms we see on Twitter in order to admit they were wrong about AD. |

Gotta start Bryant next to him and hope Bryant can knock down 3’s to space the floor. AD against 4’s in the paint is beast mode.

This is a win-win on all accounts.
Lakers win more games with AD playing at a MVP level.
AD's trade value ups.
The only thing is that when Lebron comes back, AD has to still be featured the same way and of course AD remaining healthy.
Whatever AD told the team in that meeting after the 5th straight loss, it helped. Different AD and way the team is looking at him, since then.
Sure these were teams we would have beaten even with the other AD that we saw in the season. These are weak teams on tanking streaks. Still, the manner in which AD played, it's refreshing. He's the only younger player who has elite value/level that we have on this roster. We need this from him.
Getting starting Westbrook away from AD has also helped AD a lot. Without any other star, it's just role guys and AD. The main question is can AD sustain physically playing like this? |

He hasn’t been cleaning up boards like this in all his tenure with us
It’s really nice to see. Hopefully it can last

| I remember people arguing that davis is not a center when the stats clearly showed he has been super dominicant any time he played C. Its what he does, he has always been the best rolling big in the game. At PF he is forced to play at the elbow and 3pt line. |

THIS. How many times I have stated the same. Even now people are clamoring to start TBryant???? when we finally have a backup center ??
I hope Lebron has taken notice because those words before this strech begun, was directed to him. All that bullsh1t of You take care in the first half that I will take in the second, don't work anymore. |

We’re finally using him like Pelicans AD. Where in 2020-2022, we used him as a transition offense breakaway where Lebron would full court lob throw to AD for easy buckets, or at least get free throws.
But now AD can finally play for boards again and finally use him like Pelicans AD.

AD still shouldn't be forced to be a center. People can go "In the sample size he can put up dominant numbers", yeah, but it's the hammering he takes at that position that we DON'T need to wear him down. AD Is dominant as a 4 that gets sparse minutes at the 5. Not as a primary 5 that gets sparse minutes at the 4. This is not rocket science. We've seen what happens to him whenever he's forced to play center for an extended period of time. Vs when he gets to play his natural position primarily.

Problem is he seems to struggle vs legit big body bigs. Lets just wish he plays against Bagley/Claxton/Dieng most nights… 😂😂😂
But tomorrow’s game vs Ayton should tell us more if AD has figured it out. |

Really? Show me the numbers 
Davis played center vs jokic in the playoffs and owned him. He owns anyone at C. Even Embid when they met. Stop listening to charles barkles |

Dude were talking about this year and since AD moved to the 5 fulltime. The numbers support it. We all know AD has not played near bubble AD against top tier bigs since then. Were all watching the same games this season. Dont need to listen to Barkley. |
