For the most part, Anthony Davis and his Olympic teammates have breezed through competition overseas. Though, Davis hasn’t seen a lot of floor time, he has made his minutes count. He’s put up decent numbers for a guy coming off the bench, especially with the cast of players he has around him. But it’s about more than stats, for Davis, it’s about fun.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]
