How about Davis’ performance Sunday against the Celtics? He scored a career-high 40 points to go along with 21 rebounds and three blocks. He’s got everybody talking about how good he will be in a few years as he continues to grow into his body (he recently turned 21). Over the last five games, Dragic has averaged 21.2 PPG. In a loss to the Timberwolves, Thomas finished with 27 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
