With the current 3-4 record, the New Orleans Pelicans aren't really doing as well as fans are hoping for. However, there is always something to be glad about every time the team steps on the court. Although it is still quite a bit early into the season, Anthony Davis has looked quite impressive for the team. He has taken a huge leap from the previous season wherein he was pretty much overlooked by NBA fans.
In the first 7 games of the team this season, Davis has definitely made his presence felt on the basketball court. His work on both offense and defense are reflected not only by his stats but by the way the team is being able to compete well even against quality competitions. He is currently averaging 21.7 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.9 blocks per game. These impressive numbers are a result of his adjustment to the NBA game and taking advantage of his natural abilities.
Although he did show some glimmers of his potential to be great last season, Davis somewhat struggled in his first year in the NBA as he got outmuscled by stronger and more experienced players. So far this season, he is using his speed and athleticism to get the better out of his opponents. His ability to run the court at high speed is a problem for anyone trying to guard him. His speed is also useful in defense as it allows him to cover a wider area of the floor, blocking shots from non-suspecting players.
Again, it is a little bit too early in the season. However, his ability to adjust and make use of his advantages is something that will last not only this season but throughout his career. It's an amazing and frightening thought.
