After a torn achilles ended an already inconsistent at best sophomore season, De’Ron Davis is back for year three with extremely different expectations than what the Colorado native saw just 12 months ago.
Looking back to last season, Davis did show flashes of the player Indiana fans expected him to be. While just an average rebounder, Davis’ 8.8 block percentage would have been in KenPom’s top 50 nationally if he would have met the minutes requirement. Davis also exceptional in the post, as the 6-10 bulldozer scored 72 points on 64 post-up possessions (per Synergy sports), which ranked in the 95th percentile in college basketball.
