Davis is a 6-foot-5, 181-pound long, athletic guard who likes to attack the rim and also has a good 3-point stroke. Armed with a long wingspan, Davis has the ability to play lockdown defense and make it difficult for players to get around him.
A year ago, Davis got some run for a talented Chaminade squad that featured four NCAA Division I recruits and went on the win a state championship. He played in all 31 games and averaged 3.4 points in limited playing time and shot 51 percent from the field and 37 percent from 3-point range.
Davis said competing against the likes of Tatum in practice helped prepare him for a bigger role with the Red Devils in the future.
“It was very challenging at first, but after awhile I got use to it all the practices and guarding Jayson,” he said. “It really made me not take any days off knowing that if I did I could get exposed.
“I’m extremely excited for this coming up year and looking forward to showing people my game at the highest level. It’s been a long wait since freshman year, but all the struggles I went though made me a better person and basketball player.”
Davis says he has received letters from numerous schools and has had heard the most from Illinois, but has not yet received any offers.
Davis is playing this summer with a talented St. Louis Eagles 16U team that features, among others, highly rated 2019 players Marcedus Leech, Francis Okoro, James Wiseman, and others.
“It has been great I enjoy the players and coaches,” he said. ” I have played well so far.”
Davis said he is focused on improving his ball handing, endurance, strength, and his motor.
“I feel if I work on these areas I will have a good chance of doing good things,” he said.
