[@seanpowlesland1703]

It's always an encouraging sign about a players motor when they are good on defence while carrying the offensive load.

[@NineXtreme]

Going to be a problem for any opposing team defensively. What he lacked in Wisconsin were reliable shooters and spacing, something he'll get plenty of in the NBA.

[@xBulletproof1]

After watching Duarte on my Pacers this year, I was laughing when you said Duarte at the end. I was thinking the same thing, like Duarte with better defense and less shooting. But he's built like him, has that fire inside like him and they both make some questionable drives. Though with Duarte I think it's his inability to use his left. But similar in many ways, even if for different reasons.

Sgs that can be a facilitator and can play point sometimes are called combo guards but they are still more of a sg

[@buckybadgerw3522]

This makes me remember an interaction we had last year where I asked you who the best prospect was on Wisconsin. You said there really wasn’t a great one, but it was Jonathan Davis. I was ready for the breakout too, but even I didn’t expect what he did last year. He’s gonna crush it in the league!

[@t5dagreat]

Great scouting report. I love his defense and driving ability, and that step back. If he can develop a three he's gonna be a problem! Coach Vincent would get him right, if he got drafted to Nola.

[@GameChanger-xi4iy]

Future Pelican, his style of play fits perfectly with them defense/mid-range/slasher. Just gotta dump Devonte "Bricklayer" Graham somewhere else to make room for this guy.

[@dannydiscenza6652]

I already have a basketball crush on the pelicans if they get Davis I’ll be over the moon

[@kevinsutube1p528]

I think the pelicans should pass.

[@UrBoiReese19]

I think he's the best choice outside Jabari Smith to fit next to Cade Cunningham. He looks ready right now to step in as a day one starting SG and could make a real impact on a young Pistons team.

[@zayy3884]

shadeon sharp? or do u like johnny over him? because imo the pistons have nothing but time and if they can develop shadeon sharp they would have a killer backcourt

[@UrBoiReese19]

@@zayy3884 it's hard to say. While Sharpe has all the potential in the world. Him not playing at UK for no apparent reason leaves more questions than answers. If he could ball out at the combine against other prospects then I would say it would be more of a conversation but Davis is a great prospect that we just know more about. We will see how it all shakes out. Both are worthy of a top 10 pick.

[@CharlesASmithJr]

@@padrefrediani he is sleeper because his upside is unclear because all you have to go off is his potential. Yet it is clear that he will have no problem actualizing it at the NBA level from scout and workouts.

[@jackpx24]

Im gonna miss watching him in red and white, but I'm excited to see what he's able to do in the pros

[@omotayosatuyi252]

He’s still going to be in red and white he the wizards jersey has shades of that in their jersey lol

[@averagesixersfan9778]

would love ur thoughts on tari eason, i think he has the most potential as a 2 way superstar due to him being a great right hand finisher, left is weak but all his coaches say ehs a hard worker so i think he cam work it into his game, hes also sooo underrated as a ball handler, his creativity is underrated even though hes right hand dominant

[@nolanrussell6326]

I feel like he has potential to be a star if he improves his three point shooting, playmaking, and finishing. But I just don't think he's good enough in those areas to be a primary/secondary option any time soon, so he's probably more likely to wind up being a role player. Does make me a little worried that he could end up being a bit of a bust if his three pointer doesn't come around, as it's hard to fit a non floor spacing guard into a modern NBA rotation. Assuming he doesn't blossom into a star, I think Josh Hart is a realistic best case scenario as a role player but I do worry about Davis. I think he might be a bit overrated in this draft. Feels like a guy that would have thrived in the 80s-2000s but could have a tough time cracking a modern rotation

[@dannydiscenza6652]

This guy plays like what I think I play like. We’re exactly the same size and we take similar shots. Only difference between us is he’s way way better than me lmao

[@JamalisHim10]

Bro are you going to live stream the lottery and or the draft would be good to see your initial reactions

[@justchillinnnn]

See lots of Devin Booker in him. Their combine measurements are almost identical as well. Not sure if he has the range on his shot that Booker does but not very many do.

[@WW-ik7vr]

as a knicks fan he reminds me so much of our rook Q Grimes hoping he falls to 11 and we see that Grimes Davis combo defensively would be a terror on the perimeter especially if you have a Sims and or Robinson anchoring at the rim

[@differencemaker242]

He seems as league ready as anybody in this draft. He has every move on offense. I haven't seen him use a hop step but he's got the stop and pop. He'll drive to the basket, behind the back, he goes left and right. He's got a floater and a fall away jumper. I mean that's a lot at his age. He's been working hard you can tell. He'll likely replace Beal after Beal requests a trade this year or next.

[@Aventsdor]

[@bballer191]

Wizards or Knicks. One of those teams will draft him if Pelicans pass on him at 8.

[@tiewatt294]

If he still on the board for us, take him

[@bowser2417]

Feel like his attitude and style fits so well with the pelicans, just don't see us getting a guard who is not named Ivey. CJ, Jose, Kira Lewis, Graham(which could be traded) no room for Davis. Love Davis game tho think on the right team he could be a good 2 way player

[@reidwilson7974]

Bro stop !! That bench don't have no pure scorer and he definitely fits that bill and plays defense. CJ is starting to decline and you won't be picking this high if you can help it. you take his successor now while you can

[@scootover7]

If the Pelicans do end up picking 8 and Davis falls to him, I don't think he would be a bad choice. He's be nice on the second unit behind CJ McCollum

[@bronxroots6668]

@@cookingwitchefzayy8830 I think my prob is that I bring the coach into my decisions. Thib’s will be qwik to bury a kid because he’s unable to figure out how to use him. If someone came to me and said “Bx, would you move D. Rose in a deal to draft this kid”, I’d say absolutely! Without a doubt, but Thib’s would lose his shit if that were to happen. Even though, for our long term success it would be the sensible move. But no other GM would make that deal, so I have to move one of them. You could say move Reddish, but I’m not moving him unless I’m looking to secure a legit SF/PF (K. Murray, Sochan). Honestly, the SG wing position, to me is the easiest position to fill nowadays. This draft alone has so many players around the same size and skill sets 🤷🏾‍♂️
