Kevin Durant Predicts Anthony Davis Will Lead NBA In Scoring

Anthony Davis is averaging 37.7 points per game on the young season and is well on his way to having his best season as a pro. Kevin Durant, who knows a thing or two about putting up big scoring numbers, told ESPN that he thinks AD will win the League’s scoring title this season:

“[Anthony Davis is] probably going to lead the league in scoring this year easily … 50 for him is a good game, and now [he’s like] move it to the next one,” Durant said. 

 

“It’s hard to defend him,” Durant said. “You can’t. His first step is probably the quickest I’ve seen in a while at his position. He’s long, he can shoot it, he can dribble it, he can shoot the 3 — so he’s doing just about everything out there on the court.”

Despite Davis’ monster numbers, the Pelicans currently sit at 0-3. Against the Spurs last night, the Brow was held in check, scoring just 18 points in a 98-79 loss.
