Summary

Anthony Davis is, to say the least, a conversation starter. In Part I of our two shows with Mike Trudell (Lakers.com, Spectrum Sportsnet, and more!) we dive deep into the Anthony Davis Experience. Does he get less credit than he should for high level of his play? When people are complaining about his performance, what exactly are they complaining about? Do people focus too much on some inconsistencies in his offensive dominance, without fully accounting and crediting him for his play defensively? How are the Lakers going to give Davis more support defensively this season so that he doesn't get burned out over the course of the year? How are they better prepared to play good D this year compared to last? Just how good do they need to be to get where they want to go in the regular season? How will it help the Lakers to have a little bit of continuity going into the season, as opposed to everything they've been doing for the last couple of seasons? Are people overrating the shooting question for the Lakers? Whether because the perimeter shooting will be substantively better, or perhaps because it's just not *that* big a deal? Maybe a little from column A, a little from column B? Finally, is a little bearishness on Rui worthwhile? Or does the context in which he now plays - fitting in on this team with these Lakers - change the equation completely, to where old numbers and trends don't matter as much? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Does A.D. get more grief than he deserves? SEGMENT 2: What kind of D will the Lakers play around him this year? SEGMENT 3: Rui and Reaves. Why Hachimura is such a perfect fit, and why that might make his regular season performances to this point kind of moot. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
