Ed Davis
Ed Davis has been the surprise for the Lakers. The former North Carolina player has shown good tw0-way play. Not only has he shown great dexterity in the painted area, but the chemistry on the basketball floor between him and Jeremy Lin is real. They use pick-and-rolls often, with great success. Every game, there’s at least one lob dunk set up by Jeremy Lin. He also has a soft touch in the painted area. Defensively, he’s the best shotblocker on the team. Not only has he been facing solid competition at his position, but he’s shown the ability to bounce back for second and third attempts to block shots.
