Anthony Davis 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis enters the season atop the preseason fantasy rankings list. Davis had a monster 2018 campaign, finishing the season as the second leading scorer in the league, averaging 28.1 points per game, just 2.3 points behind James Harden, who finished as the league’s most valuable player. Though he was in the MVP conversation all season, he especially flourished when former teammate DeMarcus Cousins went down with a torn Achilles by averaging 35 points, 13 boards, 2.5 steals, and 2.2 blocks in February. He saw a small dip in his scoring numbers, but he maintained consistent production throughout the remainder of the season on both ends of the floor. If you are fortunate enough to have the number one overall pick in your upcoming fantasy draft, Davis should be scooped up without question, regardless of format, but especially in category leagues.
