Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

nope. he's 0-8 in his career against sabonis. him and jokic are AD'S kryptonite

 

Come.on I love what you bring in defense and you don't start the offense as a big but you just can't simply no show in a critical game like this

 

Always gets owned by the Kings

 

0-9 and counting..

 

Fat sneaky centers give him trouble.

 

Might as well just DNP him against the Kings. 9 straight is a problem.

 

what's with euro big men and AD struggling so badly against them? sabonis makes AD his b**** every time they play

this franchise is in for some very dark days once lebron is gone and AD is the guy they build around

 

Jokic, Sabonis, Sengun (Not European, but foreign) just get the best of him. Even Nurkic got him a couple times this year.

 

Footwork..those guys can't jump, they are extremely solid with the feet and using leverage. All the European guys have excellent Footwork, Luka too..it compensates for being less athletic.

Sengun is from Turkey, he's a European player too.

 

The Lakers should have brought Dwight Howard back, he has the size and strength to contend with players like Joker and Sabonis. However, mangement as usual got in the way. It's a shame that they are wasting Bron's final years, just shameful. Can someone tell me why the hell Ham left Bron on the bence for so long at the start of the forth? Ham is, in my opinion, a terrible coach, he literrally gets out coached ever game. His deision making is terrible. What the hell happeneed to AD? The guards can't guard a shadow, ridiculous.

 

Dwight Howard is a fossil right now. A weird one at that..lol Dwight wouldn't help anybody, probably foul out in 5 minutes.

 

Okay, okay, you have a point. But...what about Darryl Dawkins? He died 9 years ago, but he has that BIGMAN thing, ya know? What about him?

 

Lol..Bring Boogie back! He might wack somebody and hit an occasional 3.

 

We definitely need to improve the backup big position this summer. Hayes is fine for a 3rd string energy guy and I think Wood leaves for a more defined role.

I only want to go shopping in the 250 pound and up bin. Capela, Hartenstein, Valanciunas. Each bring something different but all the are big, rebound and are legit 25+ mpg level big men. If they're not gettable in FA/S&T/trade then on the sales rack, I'm looking at: Drummond or Biyombo.

 

Aww man. I was always just joking about actually bringing back Dwight. Lol

But we could definitely use a physical backup center.

 

as everyone said all summer! was the one big roster hole, imo.

 

Yeah. Wonder if guys like Biyombo just didn't want to sign with us.

 

I get Jokic and Nurkic types but He's bigger and taller then Sabonis.

Sabonis is not a good defender either and the Lakers can't seem to exploit him on D at all

 

It's more the type of play. Sabonis is always beating you, going against you, he uses his body a lot. AD doesn't feel comfortable with that. There might be also some leverage for being left handed.
It happens to everyone, there's always a nemesis. Hope we don't get Sac in the POs
