Anthony Davis is passing new test to help the Lakers’ offense

LA Times  

The Lakers believe their offense would benefit from more passing by Anthony Davis. “I don’t want to give AD credit passing the ball,” Austin Reaves said with a grin Tuesday. “I kinda broke down to the team where I like to see guys on the perimeter when I’m in the post,” Davis said Tuesday. “It’s just being in the right place at the right time, reading my defender, the way they help and getting into open spots and being ready to shoot the ball.” Vincent, who has missed time with back tightness, did participate in Wednesday’s light practice and is trending toward a return. He said the vibe among the Lakers is a singular focus on making the right play — a trait common among good teams — and one head coach Darvin Ham has said starts at the top with LeBron James and Davis “And our two captains, they identify with that and they’re two of the top examples of that, league-wide,” Ham said Tuesday.
