Nobody on this earth is a bigger Anthony Davis fan than me.

I’ve watched every game, read every article, and complained about his 2k rating every year he’s been in the league.

I love Anthony Davis, I think he will be a top 10 player all time when he retires, and is set to dominate the league for at least a decade.

But….. I think he can be better.

I think every NBA player who ever lived could have been better. MJ could have been a 40% three-point shooter, Dirk Nowitzki could have been a DPOY, and Shaq could have shot 80% from the line.

Every human being in the world could be better their job, and that includes Anthony Davis.

Also, he’s only 22.

Another title for this article could have been “5 Ways I think Anthony Davis WILL improve next season” because by all accounts he has one of the most dedicated work ethics in the league.

His mid range shooting percentages have improved by around 7% each season, his PER has consistently been the highest all-time for a player his age, and he went from being compared to Marcus Camby in college to being top five in the NBA in scoring.

Okay, I’ve stroked his unibrow enough, let’s breakdown how Davis can improve in the near future.
