Shaquille O'Neal weighs in on Anthony Davis' position and play
Anthony Davis was in the midst of a great season before being sidelined with a foot injury. The LA Lakers star is averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 59.4% from the field.
Despite Davis playing exclusively as a center this season, Shaquille O'Neal recently revealed that he considers Davis a power forward while noting that he is a big fan of the current Lakers star. Speaking to Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports, O'Neal stated:
"Anthony Davis is not a big man, he's a power forward. Let's just put combined big man and power forward, we can have this argument all day, every day. He's playing great. Not being critical of him, I'm giving him the same information that Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] gave me."
O'Neal later added that he is hoping Davis and the Lakers can go on another run this season:
"He went to LA the first year, did what he supposed to do. They won a championship and when you live in LA, that's what we expect. We expect championships... Hopefully, they make the playoffs, and they make a run for it, but I'm an Anthony Davis fan and I will continue to stay on him."
The Lakers are currently looking to get back into the postseason picture, however, they have played much better basketball as of late. With Davis set to return in a couple of weeks, it remains to be seen if they can establish themselves as contenders.
