November 6, 2008
Colorado looks like one of the weaker squads around, and should be lead by the play of perimeter oriented power forward Josh Davis, a veteran player with a little bit of NBA experience underneath his belt. Davis is an undersized four who plays primarily facing the basket, where he can really stroke the ball and is a nice option to run pick and pop plays for. Primarily a hustle-guy, he is ill suited for the type of feature role that the Colorado coaching staff probably expects from him, and should be considered a prime candidate to be bought out by an overseas team if he does not earn a call-up early in the season.

DraftExpress All-Summer League: Honorable Mention
August 5, 2007
Though he is far from the most athletic bigman we saw this summer, Josh Davis just might have been the best shooting post in the entire Summer League. Few players of comparable size showed the same consistency from the outside, and even fewer showed the court awareness Davis utilized to get open.
While Davis doesn’t have ideal speed or quickness, he works extremely hard, and knows how to use his bulk to his advantage. His inside game isn’t terribly effective, but it is more than serviceable. On the offensive end, Davis has some decent back to the basket moves, but isn’t about to blow anyone away with pump fakes and turnarounds. Davis will get an occasional easy basket by moving well off the ball and position himself off his teammates’ drives.
Davis’ ability to play off his teammates is even more apparent from the perimeter. He is one of the most cerebral players we’ve watched, reading the play as a trailer, and getting to a spot where his teammate can hit him for an open jumper. Though this won’t serve him as well in a more organized setting, it is certainly something that would make him a valuable asset on someone’s roster. As far as pure shooting bigmen go, Davis was the best we saw in the Summer League. The fact that he hustles on every play, and does a good job of clearing out space around the rim only augments what he can do from the outside. Davis was one of the few players willing to hit the deck for loose balls, and showed tremendous desire in the five games he played in Orlando. He probably could carve out a spot for himself in the NBA once again if he really tried, but will more likely take the guaranteed money and play at the highest level in Europe once again.
