An underrated guard who is putting together a strong summer on the grassroots circuit, Wichita East 2020 Eric Davis is making a name for himself as he prepares for a breakout senior season.
A point guard who is at his best with the ball in his hands, the 6’0 Davis can score the ball, attack the basket and can get his teammates involved as well. Davis missed all of his junior season and says he is hoping this offseason will help prepare him for a comeback.
“I’m way off the radar right now, I missed a full season so I’m really underrated and have no interest or offers but there are many to come I believe because once people start seeing the way I’ve crafted my game, it will be undeniable, and offers will begin to flow,” he says.
Davis says running with MTXE this summer has helped his game grow and improve while playing free and loose.
“Kansas MTXE is a great program that allows me to play at my own pace and allows me to play freely while not having a lack of structure,” he says. “It’s really prepared me for the upcoming season because I missed playing last year and I feel like I’m ready to get back into school ball now.
“One of the huge things I worked in this off-season was my off ball hand and being able to make my runners and floaters consistently. I worked on being patient and playing with pace too.”
Davis says the biggest inspiration to his game is Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving.
“The way he puts the ball on the floor and how crafty he is around the rim inspired me to become the player I am today,” Davis said. “My favorite teams professionally and in college are both Duke and Golden State. Ive been able to take the way guards from Duke play because many of my favorite high school guards often go there. And Golden State is just an offensive powerhouse, it’s always fun to watch them play.”
