Anthony Davis

The NBA is lucky that Anthony Davis and Bam Adebayo are not on the same team.

Defensively, those two together can cause issues. Both can switch on the perimeter and defend anyone thrown at them. One of them roaming the perimeter and the other protecting the rim is a scary thing to think about. Both can play the four or five together, but those two positions don’t matter with how versatile both are.

Offensively, both can bring the ball up and make plays for others. Davis's jumper is hot and cold. Adebayo is expanding his game to three and has an excellent mid-range jumper that is also improving.

This fit would be great on both ends of the court. It's unlikely that Davis and Adebayo will be teammates in the NBA, but at least we have the Team USA experience. One day, maybe Kel'el Ware can replicate some of what Davis could provide to a frontcourt that included Adebayo.
