MVP Anthony Davis?

Anthony Davis, a young star from New Orleans. He's doing things now, at 22, that older players can only dream of doing. The "uni-brow" has expressed his extreme athleticism through fantastic post ups, aggressive offense, and shut-down defense. The former Kentucky star is the best thing that could have ever happened to the Pelicans. He's a tall Power Forward, at 6"10, who's lanky limbs give him mobility other PF don't have. As of now, Davis is fourth in the NBA in terms of scoring, and a whopping 24.6 points per game. Despite not being a 7-footer, he pulls down 10.5 rebounds per game, more than some center's average.  He leads the league in blocks (2.91) and has a .546 field goal percentage. Anthony also manages to dish out 2.0 assists per game. So should he win MVP?

Perhaps, in a normal year, the answer would be yes. But with the way Russel Westbrook, James Harden, and Stephen Curry are playing, I find it hard to believe he would win such a honorable award. Which is not to say he won't in later years. If he continues to build on already strong foundation, Anthony Davis could mold into one of the leagues most prestigious and feared players.
