Davis has always made Impact no matter what... I think the fact that he's still producing solid #'s despite the fact he's playing out of position says it all.


you using a "stretch" of game to say Davis was growing into a "talented" player, I use Varajo to prove players can have stretches of games where they look good but overall they're not "talented." Davis is a good role player, "talented" to me means some one who is above being a role player and how exactly is he playing out of position? He's listed as a PF/C and he's playing those positions.

I think we can just conclude that Davis is a good player... with a solid upside..... he's probably the only one who can net you a quality pick.

Ed Davis has nice timing when it comes to tip-ins and offensive rebounds..... still not sure why he doesn't close games..... you obviously can't showcase Sacre as a possible trade-bait because he won't Improve in games or show enough to the NBA..... Scott's decisions are very weird....

Sacre is much better against beefier centers and he is not a free throw liability.

Davis has actually been shooting at a nice solid clip from the FT line... I think he's shooting like 55-60% which is a big Improvement from earlier in the year.

Ed is sort of an odd player in this NBA. He's a PF who is lights out within 5 feet, but isn't much more effective outside of that...so he sort of has to play out of position.

I'm not sure if I see a ton of upside to his game, but I think he could see him be a 3rd big on a contender.

I think Davis mentioned once that he could shoot 10-15ft jumpers if he wanted to... but is more focused in doing the dirty-work down-low.....
