I feel like a lot of what he does isn't going to translate.

Watching his highlights, Davis looks really big.  He bulls his way to success pretty frequently... But then you see that he's 6'7" 220.  He isn't going to bull his way anywhere in the ACC.

He takes too many bad shots.  I hate the off the dribble going backwards just inside the three point line prayers.  He also isn't much of a shot e up shooter. Fortunately, he ain't be asked to take those shots at Syracuse.

Davis has decent handle, especial for a guy his size, but nothing spectacular.  He didn't get usually get all the way to the basket. Instead he turns and backs his guy... Kind of reminded me of Billy Edelin with his below the basket over the shoulder dribble drive post up moves.

He sets a good pick, and receives the ball ready to score.

He is a pretty good passer, and in lesser leagues where he commanded a double team, he was good at finding the cutter to the basket.  He ain't command double teams in the ACC.

I wonder if he'll be able to rebound in the ACC.  I wonder if he'll be able to score.

I'm glad he's coming as a backup, because we didn't have one at all.  He's still not really a PF in the ACC, imo.

Davis isn't going to replace Brown, maybe not even Carey, but he's better than nothing.
