Looking Forward
Diametrically opposed physical traits and feel for the game. Davison has all of the tools to be a good NBA guard, but hasn’t put it together. He’s still young, but his processing essentially needs overhauled. He comes off of the bench for ‘Bama and his minutes are limited in clutch situations. His transition game is probably where he can contribute well enough, but there are concerns for questions in the half court regarding his shot creation. Will need significant development time but, if he hits, JD could yield significant returns.
