The reigning All-Star game MVP has been one of the league's best defenders since the very first time he played an NBA game (it probably helped that he was a member of the Redeem Team in 2012, which was riddled with defensive superstars).

Davis has averaged over 2 blocks per game for each of the past four seasons, despite being a relatively undersized center. For much of his New Orleans stint (he only grew to his current height of 6'11" in 2016). He also has a steals rate north of 1 per game and has never averaged less than 1.2 for a season.

With his unique ability to keep up with typical NBA bigs, while being able to effortlessly switch onto smaller, faster guards on the run, Davis can impact a basketball game in ways that few can ever dream of. Should he keep the injury bug away, Davis is an odds-on bet to record a five-by-five before retirement, given that he is still only 24 years old.
