Sometimes all it takes to stand out is your energy, and Davidson’s play on Friday was proof of just that. A jet-quick lead guard with length to play a bit bigger than his listed height, he set the tone from the opening tip with aggressive on-ball defense and unselfish downhill attacking. Smaller guards have to find specific areas to excel at the next level, and Davidson looks to have done so with his commitment to defending the ball, setting up his teammates, and playing harder than anybody on the floor. He may not pass the eye test but looks to be a valued piece of a college program down the line.
