While the sample size is very small, it has been encouraging for the Lakers to see Davis shoot the ball without any fear. Lakers coach Darvin Ham said that it was "just his confidence" that has allowed Davis to shoot the 3 with freedom. The thing is, Davis shot 56.3% from the field and averaged 25.9 points and 12.5 rebounds. "I just think him with a focus and a refusal to be stopped, it just gives everybody around him confidence," Ham said. Davis will be back at it again Wednesday night when the Lakers play the Sacramento Kings at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
