What Was Recently Said 6/28/22): Similar to the entry above, we've seen Davis countless times with the NC Spartans but this was our first real viewing with East Surry. While he clearly carries more responsibility with this group, his identity and approach are largely the same. Davis is a smart, well-rounded wing prospect with a natural understanding of how to affect all facets of the game as a leader or glue-guy. He can reliably pass, handle, shoot, and create off the bounce, but also shows emphasis on making hustle plays and doing the little things. Davis leads by example, especially with this group, and was the Cardinals' most productive piece in each showing. He is a college-level player.
(8/9/22)
Since he's somewhat of a natural glue-guy, Davis frequently showcases his ability to do everything on the court. He's a smart, well-rounded guard who can efficiently score the ball from all levels, assume playmaking duties, and make his presence felt as a defender and rebounder. Davis is an excellent teammate who truly adapts to whatever the team needs on both ends of the floor. He's a great leader by example and someone who looks to make the right play at every possible opportunity.
What To Expect:
There were a lot of unsung heroes throughout the travel ball season, but it's unclear if college coaches fully appreciated everything Jordan Davis brought to the table. We've spoken about his well-rounded game and natural identity as a glue-guy, but it can often be overlooked because of his willingness to be an incredible teammate. Specifically during his time with the NC Spartans, Davis was typically the first guy who would pass up a good look for a great one. He generally doesn't care who scores as long as it's putting his team in a position to win. Davis can (and will) adapt to any role for the betterment of the team. For his size and position, he does everything at a quality level. Davis can dictate the offense, create for himself or others, outwork opponents defensively or for extra possessions, and consistently finds success with or without the ball in his hands. He's a reliable defender and rebounder with no glaring weaknesses on either end of the floor. Davis is simply a great player and someone who should be an asset at the next level.
