*Positional Notes: Davis has played more at Center in recent years, and when his career ends, it is possible that this will be his primary slot over his career. Nevertheless, he lined up more at Power Forward over his peak and, for now, is listed as a PF.
*Peak Period: 2013-14 to 2019-20.
As a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Davis proved his stardom as a three-time First-Team All-NBA Selection and three-time Blocks per Game leader. The Pelicans were not contenders, and in 2019, he joined LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won the NBA Title in the bubble season of 2019/20.
“The Brow” has struggled with injuries since, appearing in only 132 Games from 2020-21 to 2022-23, but he is coming off his healthiest season in L.A (76 Games) and was an All-NBA Selection for the first time since 2019-20. Throw in his 75th Anniversary Selection (should he have gotten that over Dwight Howard?), and the resume is there for immediate induction once eligible.
