Rebounding, screens and hustle: Ed Davis driving the Nets as backup center

Posted Feb 13, 2019
In short, NBA teams are looking for a glue guy. They're looking for Ed Davis. In his first year with the Brooklyn Nets, Davis has made an immediate impact as the team's backup center. Although he won't turn 30 until June, he is a journeyman compared to the rest of the young Nets roster. The 6-foot-10 forward is on his fifth team after spending three years in Portland.
