Led NBA in Two-Point Field Goals (2014–2015) For a big man (measuring 6 feet 10 inches or 2.08 m), Davis has a soft touch around the rim. This touch has helped him lead the league in two-point shots made in not just one, not just two, but three seasons. His 641 two-point field goals made in the 2014–2015 season were 12 more than Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had, which made Davis the league leader in the category for the first time. He outpaced Minnesota Timberwolves Center Karl-Anthony Towns by 29 shots (730 to 701) in 2016–2017, and he outshot perennial All-Star LeBron James (now his teammate in Los Angeles) in the 2017–2018 season by 17 two-point shots for his second and third category titles.

Because of his height, Davis gets plenty of looks at or near the rim. It is because of this that he has been able to lead the NBA on three separate occasions in two-point field goals made.
