Ricky Davis
SG
19
6-6

Iowa
Rookie Ratings:[/u]
B B C- C D+ B
Strengths:[/u]
Looking at his ratings, Davis' strengths are pretty obvious. The guy can flat out score. He's a great athlete and has a tremendous vertical leap and is very quick, which helps him score in the paint. He's also got some great moves and can create for himself inside. He's got a very good mid-range game as well and is really just an all-around dynamic scorer. He should be a very good scorer and win a few dunk contests in his career.
Weaknesses:[/u]
Everything but his offense. Davis for whatever reason, shows no interest in playing defense and when he does try to, he's not very good. He's just a terrible defensive player. He's not a great ball handler either at this stage of his game, though scouts do think he could improve markedly in that area at some point. Right now though, he turns it over too much and doesn't pass it enough. He's selfish with the ball is what it comes down to. Davis' rebounding is also surprisingly mediocre given his athletic ability. More important than the weaknesses in his game are the concerns about his attitude. Davis has a history of attitude problems and is not a great teammate. This concerns scouts a great deal.
Overview:[/u]
A great young scorer whose game is completely one-dimensional. A probable late-lotto pick.
