The Story in 60 Seconds

Washington Wizards big man Anthony Davis flashed improved outside shooting in his preseason debut against the New York Knicks, scoring 16 points and making two of three 3-pointers in under 17 minutes. Peter O'Keefe of Blue Man Hoop argues that Davis's willingness to shoot from beyond the arc enhances his appeal as a potential trade target for the Golden State Warriors.

Davis and the Wizards have agreed to pause contract extension discussions until at least mid-season, potentially opening the door for trade interest. With Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis dealing with health concerns, O'Keefe suggests Golden State could monitor Davis ahead of the February trade deadline if his perimeter shooting resurgence continues.
