Deyonta Davis

 It’s a weak draft !!! He is gonna be a lottery pick because He’s tall black has a seven wingspan and goes to Michigan state!!!!!!!!!!

 Guys Guys Guys!…..there’s no need for this kind of heated discussion. Let me help you out with my own scouting report. 

Deyonta Davis is a great prospect. He’s African American with a wingspan a couple of inches beyond 6’11".

His stock has really gone up from playing at Michigan State.

It’s not a particularly strong draft, which should help him move into the mid-lottery.

 State Fan here. Reason Deyonta is projected so high is that he has potential through the roof. Hes about 6’11 ish with freakish long arms. He is a very good athlete can play the 4 and the 5, and has bulked up considerably since he’s come to state. He is also flashed a good post game and the potential to be a very solid mid range shooter, he has really nice form on his shot. He is also a phenomenal shot blocker. His raw potential combined with being coached up by the likes of an Izzo have people excited for what he could be in the NBA.  A player that can block shots, guard the 4 and 5, post up and hit mid range jump shots has a spot on any team in the league.  He spent a good handful of minutes guarding Zak Irvin in their most recent game vs Michigan which is a testament to his defensive versatility. 

Izzo is tough on the kid, making him earn his minutes, but I think it will prove to be beneficial for Davis’ development. His minutes have been limited by the outstanding play of Matt Costello and the existence of quality bigs like Gavin Schilling and Kenny Goins. But Izzo knows how important Davis is and he showed that by moving him into the starting lineup recently. 

Davis could go top 10 this year and I really would not fault him at all for it. I do think though that on next years team though he could have a chance to go top 5. If Davis stays, wow next years team could be scary especially if they were to pick up Josh Jackson looking at a potential lineup of: 

C Davis/ Schilling/ Goins
F Bridges/ Ward/ Clark Jr
F Jackson/ Bess/ Ellis
G Harris/ Langford/ Ahrens 
G Winston/ Tum Tum/ McQuaid

 To be honest, I’ve watched msu several times this year and Davis hasn’t really stood out all that much. If this site wasn’t projecting him to go that high there would be nothing about his game that would make me think he’d be a top 10 pick right now. I agree he’s got good physical tools and could develop into a player someday, but right now he just isn’t a guy I could see having much of an impact right away.

How? Why? is Davis rated over Diamond Stone.. Stone not as springy an athlete but a much better basketball player than Davis.. Shame on me for liking players who can make moves and shots.   UCONN womens team best basketball on TV..period.

Really caught my eye during the HS All-Star game circuit. Not that any of those games are competitive, but because of the way he moves, and his physical make up. He hasn’t disappointed at MSU this season. He’s incredibly productive when he’s on the court, and has the ability to rebound and block shots in the NBA. Also, even though he’s young, and thin, he’s putting up 73.2% at the rim this season.

He could be a very good defensive role player. His rebounding and shot blocking can translate, but for him to be a special player he needs to continue to work on his game. The good thing? He can already do a couple things at a high level, and he’s got room to grow. I have to think he was a reason Caleb Swanigan changed his mind and went to Purdue, whether he’s willing to admit it or not.

I like him as a project, even more since he stopped the palm hair.., 

Tristan Thompson was 4th, that kid has a higher ceiling, more raw skills, taller, better defender, shot blocker, better hands, better touch, better midrange game potential.

Another name of a frosh bigmen, Favors…he was a bit younger(drafted at 18), but their per 36 mins numbers were pretty similar and i think the ceiling/role of Davis is pretty much what Favors is doing now.

A solid 2 way PF/C, winning basketball.

Worth a lotto pick, in the 10-14 range, thinking Wizards…

He is athletic with a good vert, good wingspan. He can block and change a lot of shots. He doesn’t get a lot of looks on offense but the potential is there.

I really hate it when kids get drafted on “potential” without proving themselves first in college. I hope he comes back next year to work on his game. Would be nice to see him become a bit more of the focus on offense…
