Anthony Davis has kept a good percentage of his 131 rejections in play rather than sending them out of bounds.

“I always try to keep the ball in play, get the ball to my teammates,” Davis said.

Davis is blocking 15 percent of his opponents’ shots at 4.8 per game this season.

“If I block out of bounds, it might look good to the crowd but it kind of hurts my team because (the opponent) gets another possession,” Davis said. “If I block it and it bounces to one of my teammates, we have the ball and we did a great job on defense getting a stop. Now we have another chance to score without them scoring.”
