Unfortunately for us I agree!

I mean - come on. It’s not like you’ve seen any of the new guys play the point to conclude any of them would be a better back up than him. Tariq might run some point for short stretches, but there will still be a role for someone to back up Lino and right now JMike deserves to be considered the frontrunner for that - until someone else proves themselves in that role at the high major level.

No argument! He is just not a plus player. Besides dribbling the ball across half court he brings no other value to the team. Doesn’t create for others or himself. Not a great rebounder or shooter and contrary to popular belief is not a plus defender.

he does know the system amd can get ppl in the right places .

He didn't really have anyone to create for - now he does, he led the team in 3 pt. shooting percentage, and Pikiel not only sees him as a plus defender, but as the undisputed leader of the team. Taking all of this into account, he's a plus player. Saying he has no other value other than getting the ball across half court is really stupid.

Stop! Did he have someone to get the ball too when Ace and Dylan were on the team?
He creates for no one! He can not shoot unless given 10 secs and even that is mid 30 percent. He is not even close to a plus defender.

Great young man , great attitude, intelligent, knows where to be.

I hope he comes back one day and coaches here!

He is not and has never been a plus player.

Number 1 - Dylan and Ace monopolized the ball. Number 2 - you're an idiot.

Number 1 excuses
Number 2 he has a losing record at RU
Number 3 I may be an idiot ! But I’m right

I think your exaggerating how “bad” he is. Certainly not close to a BIG starter anywhere but good enough to be a utility back up PG most places. If he transferred, he would’ve landed as either a projected starter at a decent mid major or a back up on another high major team (like Zrno, Dortch, etc.)

That’s fair and a mid major I believe he would put up respectable numbers . He is just not a plus player at this level.

Once again: love his attitude, work ethic, intelligence, grit, and energy. I want him to come back here and coach and lead young man one day.

Davis brings a lot to the court, He had 86 assists and only 27 turnovers. He isn’t flashy like Lino, but he is confident and doesn’t get rattled or turn the ball over a lot. I don’t see him as a starter, but I do see him on the court in a tight game with less than 2 minutes left. I’m pretty confident that he has earned Pikiel’s trust and will be relied upon in situations where senior leadership is needed.
