Following a blowout 112-97 loss to the Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Lakers big man Anthony Davis is willing to play the center position to give L.A. an advantage over Houston’s small-ball lineup, Yahoo’s Chris Haynes writes.
Davis, mostly a power forward during his career, has previously indicated that he feels more comfortable at the four versus the five position — even though he’s open to playing center.
“I like playing the four, I’m not even going to sugarcoat it. I like playing the four, I don’t really like playing the five,” Davis said at his introductory press conference with the Lakers last fall (per SB Nation).
The Lakers had Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee, the only true centers on the team, play 23 combined minutes at the position during Friday’s Game 1 blowout.
As Game 2 approaches, head coach Frank Vogel said the Lakers would examine the situation and make decisions accordingly, including where to play their All-Star big man.
“We’ll look at the tape and we’ll see what approach we’re going to have for Game 2 and we’ll go from there,” Vogel said.
