Posted Feb 9, 2019
Native Richmonder Ed Davis ranks with pro basketball’s lords of the boards. Few players crash the backboards more relentlessly. In his first season with the Brooklyn Nets, Davis leads the NBA in one category and is second in another. Through 48 games as of Jan. 24, Davis ranks No. 1 in the NBA in “rebound ratio” and second in “rebounds per minute." (Richmond Free Press)
