What is the reason for Anthony Davis' inconsistencies? (www.reddit.com)

This is not just tonight's game, it stems back to the 20-21 season after the Lakers won the championship. We know he is inconsistent but why?

  • Are teams guarding him in specific ways?

  • Does he have weaknesses offensively that teams exploit?

  • Is he slow? This can definitely make guarding a bit easier if you're not as mobile.

We know what he's capable of so it is mind-boggling how up and down he can be. He's not a #1, but that doesn't mean you play like a #3 every other game.

He's still bulkier than he was before the Lakers chip. His D is better now, but his scoring is considerably worse. Playing the 5 more and no longer being in his early 20s also means he has to be a lot more careful. He's a top 15 player, but not the top 10 superstar AD we saw in NOLA and that first Lakers year
