Daejon Davis, 6'3, PG/SG, Washington, Class of 2017
Jonathan Givony
Strengths
-Good size for a point guard, measured 6-3 in shoes. Wingspan between 6-5 and 6-6. Strong frame. 175 pounds right now, but should get significantly stronger as his body fills out
-Excellent athlete. Can play above the rim with ease. Has some real burst in a straight-line
-Extremely competitive player. Played outstanding defense on the older players at this camp. Rebounds. Gets in passing lanes. Fights over screens. Has excellent lateral quickness
-Not a total non-shooter. Will throw the ball in the basket at times
-Will make the extra pass unselfishly
Weaknesses
-Understanding of how to run a team is still a work in progress.
-Ball-handling ability in half-court is not very polished. Struggles to change speeds or directions
-Very streaky outside shooter. Will have to improve his shooting mechanics as he tends to fling the ball at the basket from his fingertips with a low (and slow) release point.
Outlook Strong, explosive, physical and aggressive combo guard. Still figuring out how to maximize his tools offensively. Will he grow into the shooting guard position or improve his half-court polish and emerge as a full-time point guard? Strong intangibles, competitiveness leave a lot of room for optimism regarding his future development. Committed to Washington.
