The biggest question with Anthony Davis is and probably always will be health. When he’s at 100 percent, or even just close to it, there’s no power forward in the game like him (well, maybe KAT now).
Even with a lackluster supporting cast, Davis managed to carry the New Orleans Pelicans to the playoffs in 2014-15. That deserves praise. Thing is, Davis doesn’t necessarily need a better supping cast, he deserves one.
If Davis can find a way to remain healthy and continue to get better – we forget that he’s still only 23 years old – his ceiling is limitless.
