All stars“ accompanying” Lebron James

October 6, 2019October 6, 2019bballscholar

This is what they did in their first year with Lebron James. (Chris Bosh & Kevin Love) Clearly Anthony Davis situation is completely different because he won’t be taking a backseat or playing 3rd option.

What can you see Anthony Davis do this upcoming season? Will his numbers regress or will he they heavily improve?

More than likely improve because if they don’t then the Los Angeles Lakers won’t win as many games as we predicted. Now I am not saying Anthony Davis needs to put up Wilt Chamberlain type of numbers every game but he does need to be dominant. This year he has to play like a top 3 player in the entire league. Why? Because he is fully capable and he has Lebron James. This will be the first time in Davis’s career where the spotlight will shine ever so brightly on him.

2019-2020 – Lakers style of play

I’ve heard that the Lakers are willing to run their offense through Anthony Davis. Which I agree will be smart and effective because AD can you get you 25p 12r in his sleep.

This year will be the first time in Lebron James career where he will be not be the first option. How will he handle that?

Check out the Los Angeles Lakers preseason game.

Anthony Davis already looking comfortable in his new home. I know I’m jumping the gun but I am looking forward to seeing what he can do in this year’s playoffs.

Here are Kevin Durant field goal shooting percentages over the last 7 seasons.

Mind you Kevin Durant has averaged over 25Points per game within the last 7 seasons. Check it out 👇🏽

The last column shows his scoring per game from the last 7 years.

A lot of Kevin Durant shots come from the mid range.

Within those 7 years I have found 2 shot charts from different years. The efficiency is unreal from mid range! The first chart is from 2017-2018 season.

The second chart is what he did in his last year with the Golden State Warriors.

2019-2020: Dwight Howard- A 2nd time charm?

September 28, 2019September 28, 2019bballscholar

Hmmm…

Round 2:

So as we all know Dwight Howard is back in Los Angeles.

Again.

Last time we saw him in LA he was playing on a broken back. Kobe Bryant destroyed his ego and kick him out of town. Funny but seriously that’s what happened!

The question is….

What will LeBron James do if Dwight Howard doesn’t live up to expectations?😅

Check out Dwight Howard’s last year’s stats:

Ready to go:

Im not sure who or what the notion is that somehow Dwight Howard isn’t a serviceable big man. Because clearly the stats say otherwise. I must point out that last year stats are slightly skewed because in with the Wizards he only played 9 games.

Style of play:

Dwight should fit in well with his new team. He still can put up more than capable numbers as a big men. He’s capable of running the floor with ease as he has always kept himself in great shape. This is the year to show us that you got heart bro.

Dwight won’t get a lot of plays run for him so he’ll have to solo focus on defense , effort and rebounding. Also he has 15 year in the game. That basketball experience will definitely help! He will be entering his 16th year this upcoming season.

Memories: 👇🏽

Will Dwight Howard be focused on and off the court?

This year he will have a legitimate shot at contributing for a title. All his focus should be on how to become a NBA champion.

If the minutes are there he can still average anywhere from 12-16 points per game with 10 rebounds.

The Lakers should dominate teams on the glass every night!

On Markelle Fultz.

The Orlando Magic have decided to pick up his 12.3M option until the 2020-2021 season.

Meaning he has 2 years to prove himself in this league! Fultz may have found his future home if everything falls into place.

The Orlando Magic are putting their faith in the former number #1 draft pick.

Will Markelle Fultz ever get his mind and body right this season?

Eye Test:

We will immediately see if he’s ready or not. All I ask for him to do while on the court is play with passion!

Disappointing Start:

In his career he has played in 33 games all with the Philadelphia 76ers. He is only 21 years old and he will have a fresh start on a new team.

I am rooting for him!

I believe his problem early on was adjusting to the NBA’s lifestyle.

This time around he has to be mentally tougher or he will not get a another chance in this fickle league.

He was mishandled by the Philadelphia 76ers ; he should of been shut down and reevaluate immediately. Instead of forcing him to go out and play when he wasn’t ready to go at 100%! Hence why the 76ers gave up on him so prematurely. They needed players that could help them win now!

Fultz had immense promise coming out college. Sadly up to this point he has been a huge disappointment in the NBA.

Can you think of a #1 draft pick who has been more disappointing then Markelle Fultz so far?

Side Note:

I hope to see Markelle on the court this season.

CAREER HIGH IN POINTS ACTIVE PLAYERS

DOMANTAS SABONIS – A True Low Post Specialist

September 7, 2019September 6, 2019bballscholar

In 2016 Sabonis got drafted in the first round by the Orlando Magic . A lot of rookies in the first round have tons of pressure to succeed right away in the NBA. But I only can imagine being the son of international legend (Arvydas Sabonis). Not easy shoes to fill. But I believe Domantas Sabonis is on his way to be an perennial all star in the east for many years to come.

Why? Well….

He’s 6’11 240Lbs

Age – 23

If you’re like me and like traditional big men with proficient post moves. Then Domantas Sabonis’s inside game is a must watch. Because he will only get better!

Bold Prediction:

Within the next two – three years he will be an all star for the Indiana Pacers.

Like most traditional big man they usually take awhile in the league before they are truly established as a force.

Domantas Sabonis is no exception , he has the skills but he needs to be trusted and allowed to play more minutes. He’s one of those players that I get excited seeing in the post!

Check out his top 10 highlights from the 18/19 season:
