Anthony Davis is expected to have some playing time as a center for the Los Angeles Lakers this season.
Davis told reporters he has already discussed that possibility with Lakers head coach Frank Vogel and is ‘prepared’ to play the five.
“I’m ready to do whatever the team wants. We got Trezz and Marc who can play the five, but there’s going to be games where I have to play the five.
Me and coach talked about it, so I’m prepared to do that. He’s going to be smart about when to do it, but it’s always a conversation.
He has a great thing with talking to his players. He might come to me and say ‘Anthony, can you play the five this game?’ and I might think it’s not a good game, or I might come to him and say ‘coach, let me play the five tonight, I think this is a great matchup for me to play the five,’ and we have a conversation about it and see where it goes,” Davis said, via Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll.
In the first two games of the season, Davis has played the four for the Lakers, averaging 23 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
