To prepare, Davis has been training with former Lakers coach Phil Handy. Handy, who was part of the coaching staff during the Lakers’ 2020 championship run, has been working with Davis on key skills, including creating separation in the post and mid-range shots.
Handy was let go after a disappointing season, but his impact on the team remains significant. Davis respects Handy’s coaching and continues to seek his guidance.
If Davis stays healthy, he could have a standout season and be a contender for the MVP award. The Lakers and their fans are hopeful for a successful year ahead.
