He can create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. He has an effective step back and prefers shooting mid-range shots rather than three-point shots. Davis is skilled on the open floor and drives to the basket with explosiveness and he is only getting stronger. He is also an excellent pick-and-roll player.
On defense, Davis is a tenacious defender that plays with a high motor. He is not afraid to take on the best perimeter player on the other team. His quickness and instincts allow him to disrupt passing lanes and plays with good technique and discipline to play against larger defenders without fouling. Overall, what scouts love most about him is his toughness.
Penn State is looking to Davis to be their first commit in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
