Grade Anthony Davis
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
On the field, Anthony Davis grades out as a middling PF for Washington Wizards (C Impact). That places him 17th of 84 graded power forwards. In his on-court role, the grade is strong (B Role), reflecting how he produces relative to others at his position. The contract is harder to defend: the Contract Value Index calls it a slight overpay (D-), with the cost outrunning the output. The public read is very positive (A- Sentiment), drawn from current news and social signal rather than the box score. With 13+ seasons of track record, these grades rest on a deep sample.

Net of age, position, and term, Anthony Davis's deal earns a D- Contract Value Index. At 33 years old on a three-year, $54.1M AAV contract, Davis is a longtime veteran (14 seasons played) whose individual performance—20.4 PPG, 11.1 RPG, and 2.8 APG across 20 games in the 2025-26 season—remains genuinely franchise-caliber and justifies his B performance grade. His résumé is undeniable: multiple All-NBA First Team selections (2015, 2017, 2018, 2020), All-Defensive 1st Team honors (2018, 2020, 2024), and an All-Star MVP award that cement his status as one of the most decorated big men of his generation. However, the CVI penalty is structural and unforgiving: paying $54.1M annually for a star approaching his mid-30s on a rebuilding franchise creates a misalignment between compensation and roster construction reality that no amount of on-court excellence can offset. The media narrative has crystallized around trade speculation—multiple reports linking Davis to Portland and Los Angeles—and the Wizards' own apparent willingness to package him in a blockbuster deal around their No. 1 overall pick, signaling that Washington itself does not view him as a cornerstone of their long-term vision. At this contract price, in this organizational context, with his age and the term remaining, the value proposition tilts decisively negative despite his A- sentiment grade and unquestionable talent.
Anthony Davis earns a B Performance grade this season — a quality starter-level power forward putting up solid numbers for the Washington Wizards. He's averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists through 807 games — carrying a significant offensive load. Anthony's strongest area is RPG at 11.1, which compares favorably to the power forward median of 5.0. The biggest area for growth is APG at 2.8 (power forward median: 4.0). Among 84 NBA power forwards graded this season, Anthony ranks 17th. Anthony is a reliable contributor who the Washington Wizards can count on game to game.
Inside the Washington Wizards ecosystem, the take on Anthony Davis settles at an A- sentiment grade. The narrative around Davis reflects a fundamental disconnect: his résumé — multiple All-NBA First Team selections, All-Defensive honors, and a trajectory that virtually guarantees Hall of Fame enshrinement — remains unassailable, yet the context surrounding him has shifted dramatically away from championship windows toward organizational uncertainty and trade speculation. A significant hand injury derailed his early availability, consuming headlines and tempering the momentum typically afforded a player of his caliber, even as his on-court performance (20.4 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 2.8 APG across 20 games in the 2025-26 season) confirms he remains franchise-caliber when healthy. The real story, however, centers on the Wizards' apparent willingness to treat him as a tradeable asset rather than a cornerstone — three-team trade proposals linking him to Portland and Los Angeles have surfaced in the last two weeks, while the organization's low-profile developmental signings and acquisition of the No. 1 overall pick signal no obvious commitment to building around him. The B+ sentiment reflects respect for an elite player caught in a losing environment (17-65, headed toward the lottery) where organizational ambition appears limited, leaving Davis in limbo as the league's trade machinery spins around his name heading into the final stretch.
Other same-position deals the Contract Value Index also places in the D band — a quick read on where Anthony's contract sits relative to comparable money.
Anthony Davis ranks 17th of 84 graded power forwards by performance. That slots Anthony between Moussa Diabate (B) just ahead and Jaden McDaniels (B) just behind.
