Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Davis is a shifty and skilled lead guard that can score from 3-levels, makes great reads to open teammates, and can score in volume from beyond the arc with range from deep. Davis was one of the top overall performers at the Invite Showcase, displaying his high-level scoring ability and sharp shooting when he catches fire with the 3-ball. Davis has dynamic handles keeps the ball on a string to probe the defense and find openings to attack, uses his length and long strides to get by his initial defender off the bounce, using the crossover combos, hesitation, step-back, fadeaway, and spin-move to get open looks, with accuracy with the jumper from the mid-range to the 3-point line, and is a creative scorer around the basket with the euro-step, floater, up-an-under, and reverse lay-ups to score over height in the paint. Davis moves fluidly off the ball, weaves through the defense to find openings, gets to his shot spots, and can catch fire with the 3-ball off the catch, as has been evident in his play over the past 4 to 5 months. Davis has elite court vision to find open teammates when attacking with the ball in his hands, has active hands and timing to deflect passes, jump passing lanes, or poke the ball out, and has the length and court awareness to block shots from the weakside in the paint, as well as alter perimeter shots on the close out.

Read EvaluationPaul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-3 lead guard has been one of the fastest rising prospects from the Central Section over the past two months, putting up some monster scoring numbers, with a 40-point showing at the Clovis West Nike Shootout in mid-September. Davis displayed his play making in the Bengals win over Clovis East to close out the Shootout, dropping 7 dimes to go with his 8 points and 2 steals to highlight his overall impact on the game. Davis has elite handles, keeps the dribble alive to find openings in the defense to attack, has great court vision and court awareness to find open teammates off the drive and kick pass, to the diver out of the pick and roll action, cross court to open shooters, and up the court off the glass, as he is a good positional rebounder. He made some great reads despite not shooting as efficiently the past 5 or 6 times I have seen him play in the past 3 to 4 months. Davis has the moves to create off the bounce, is a true 3-level scorer that uses the crossover combos, hezzy, step-backs, and fadeaways in his scoring arsenal to create space from his defender, moves fluidly off the ball, gets to his shot spots, and can light it up from deep to score in volume, but this one game showed he can adapt and use his overall skill set to impact the game when not dropping 25 plus a game.
