Power Forwards

1. Anthony Davis

Stats: 31 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks 

There’s two sides to this story, one of which is good and the other is bad. Let’s start with what’s good. Barely four weeks into the season, there hasn’t been a more imposing PF in the NBA than Anthony Davis. The Brow is damaging rims, grabbing boards and shattering the hopes and dreams of every big man who have foolishly shared the paint with the almost 7-foot giant.

After his performance against the Lakers, Davis became the 10th player in NBA History to have 300 points and 100 rebounds in his team’s 1st 10 games (via Elias Sports). Unfortunately, the bad part is that he plays for a New Orleans Pelicans team that’s 1-10 and possess no signs of getting better.
