It’s not easy being both the top pick in the NBA draft and also the best player on your team embarking on a new season. That’s where Anthony Davis finds himself as preseason nears an end. He’s been the focus of opposing defenses, and as such has already taken some lumps, but he has the right mentality and is ready for the challenge.

That doesn’t mean that Davis will hesitate to call someone out if he sees a teammate who isn’t following the game plan laid out by Williams. He feels players bear a share of the responsibility for keeping each other in line.

Cities like Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans and Oklahoma City, for instance, will be more bus-friendly trips as opposed to New York or Los Angeles. While this will certainly help, there’s little doubt that White will have to confront his anxiety issues on a regular basis this season.

For a couple of years now, Eric Gordon has been a player that NBA analysts have had their eye on. It was clear from the start that there was something special about Gordon, who averaged 16.1 points as a rookie with the Los Angeles Clippers. So far, the only thing that seems to be able to stop Gordon is the injury bug. He appeared in just 56 games for the Clippers two seasons ago and missed all but seven games of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 campaign. Still, New Orleans Hornets head coach Monty Williams believes he will be a cornerstone of their franchise when he finally gets healthy.
