Davis' form has been a major concern for the LA Lakers this season, though. He is averaging 24 points, ten rebounds and three assists per game, but his shooting has been below par. Davis has been one of the worst shooters in the league so far, and his lack of aggressiveness in the paint has been a major concern for the LA Lakers.
Apart from Davis, even LeBron James and Russell Westbrook have failed to get going this season. James has been dealing with an injury, while Westbrook has had an extremely slow start to his Lakers tenure.
The LA Lakers were being considered title contenders at the start of the season, but now find themselves in a precarious position in a highly competitive Western Conference.
Meanwhile, the Lakers' rivals in the West have made major strides as the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are placed first and second in their conference. The LA Lakers will have to turn their season around pretty soon, or they could be involved in a struggle for playoff berths.
And the key to the LA Lakers' potential renaissance will be Anthony Davis' form, which has been pretty underwhelming, to say the least.
