The junior has a strong feel for the game and understands how to play within the flow of the offense. He shows the ability to create space off the bounce, has deep range on his jumper, and consistently stretches the floor.

He has good positional size, a quick release, and efficient shot preparation, allowing him to get his shot off cleanly and on time. With his shooting ability and physical profile, Davis is a prospect who should draw increased attention from college coaches this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3571362"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c6bea62301a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An All-State selection, McWhorter averaged nearly 20 points per game while knocking down 53 three-pointers during his junior season. He creates space effectively off the dribble to get to his jump shot and combines that with better-than-average quickness.
