One fan feels that during games, Davis is a little too brightly lit.
One said the Lakers would beat the Denver Nuggets if Davis hits a couple of threes.
The fact that Davis isn’t able to make threes more frequently during games is most likely due to nerves. Not only has he defeated James now, but they had already triumphed over each other in February.
Lakers supporters hope that during games, Davis will be this good from beyond the arc. The 31-year-old has had a lot of difficulty shooting from outside the field in recent years.
Compared to Anthony Davis, LeBron James Has Been A Much Better 3-Point Shooter.
When comparing the careers of Davis and James, you can see that the latter has been a significantly superior shooter when looking beyond the arc. LeBron has made 34.7% of his three-pointers, compared to Davis’s only 29.7%.
LeBron is making 5.4 three-pointers a game this season, shooting 40.6%, while Davis is making a pitiful 26.9% with 1.2 attempts per game. The extent of the big man’s recent struggles with his outside shooting has come as a bit of a surprise.
Davis shot 33.3% from three on 2.7 tries per game from 2017–18 to 2019–20, but he has only shot 24.5% on 1.6 attempts per game subsequently. He is taking fewer shots because his outside shooting has recently abandoned him during games.
It’s also the appropriate thing to do because if Davis isn’t able to hit those shots, there’s no need for him to jack up those shots. He has persisted in doing what he does best—dominate on the inside. This season, Davis is shooting 55.4% from the field and averaging 24.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.4 blocks a game.
