Davie had perhaps the most impressive season of any Sophomore in Kentucky. Austin averaged 25 points per game and had a game where he scored 40 and another game where he scored 50 this year. Davie is not a great perimeter shooter (only 27% from three this year) but he makes up with it by how hard he plays on both ends. Austin’s best asset is his motor and should impress this summer with how hard he plays.

One of the most productive 2028 prospects in Kentucky, Davie was coming off a dominant 40 point and 16 rebound performance against Highlands in the best game of Davie’s high school career. It sounds weird to say Davie was held to 27 points and seven rebounds on Wednesday but it did feel like Holy Cross made Davie work for almost every bucket he scored. Just a dominant physical presence against northern Kentucky programs, Davie is too big and strong for most players and has the skill to attack off the dribble and go around slower footed bigs. I love how Davie uses his left hand at the rim, being confident as a finisher with either hand. Davie only made two shots outside of 3 feet in this game, something he’ll have to do more consistently on the 3SSB circuit this spring and summer when every team will have forwards who can physically compete with him. What I don’t expect to change is Davie’s ability to live at the free throw line, his aggressive nature of play puts a lot of pressure on the defense in the paint and Davie shot 11 free throws on Wednesday night in a tough road loss Vs a senior laden squad.

I still believe that Austin is the best player in the state that almost no one knows about. If Davie lived in Lexington or Louisville, he would have a lot more hype than he does. He’s big and strong and continues to raise his skill level. My favorite aspect to Davie is his motor. Which never stops running, it seems.

A strong wing player who has gotten bigger and better in the last year, Austin is continuing to improve his all around game. A diligent worker with a big time motor, Davie will need to show that he can excel as a knockdown shooter to avoid being labeled as a small forward. Once he gets in front of more college coaches, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Davie earn multiple D1 offers in the next calendar year.
