Anthony Davis might already be the third best player in the NBA today, so can you imagine how dangerous he might become if he were able to knock down shots consistently from three-point distance?

We might not have to wait too long to find out.

Davis planned on working on his three-point shot this summer at the request of the team's new head coach Alvin Gentry, and he reiterated that he's been doing just that in anticipation of increasing his offensive skill set for the upcoming season.

'That's got to become a consistent shot for him,'' Gentry said earlier this summer. ''I don't think he's going to have any problem doing it. If you go back and look at his high school days, he was a very good 3-point shooter.

''He still has that range, but I don't think it has been incorporated in the offense in college or the pros that he's been in. We want him to shoot that shot. So I think you probably see him make more 3s than he's made his entire career.''

''I worked on everything, I don't try to single out one thing to work on,'' Davis said. ''A big focus was that Gentry wanted me to work on shooting 3s, so I've been working on it. I've been working on a lot of things, ballhandling and everything.''
