Anthony Davis leads the NBA in scoring, blocks, and efficiency
If one thing has become abundantly clear in the first month and a half of the NBA season, it’s that Anthony Davis is back. Anthony now leads the NBA in scoring (31.8 points per game), blocks (2.75 per game), and player efficiency (31.87) after his eighth 35+ point, 10+ rebound game of the season last night. Needless to say, he leads off our BBNBA roundup today.
