Can Anthony Davis shoot better?
AD’s shooting numbers were better in New Orleans. Davis averaged 31% from the outside, playing for the Pelicans. Whereas shot 28% from three for the Lakers. Despite his outside scoring, AD’s a cheat code from the mid-range. His post-game is also on another level, finishing over 50% of the time. Looking at his numbers, he can definitely do much better shooting the ball.
