Deyonta Davis has all the tools many teams would love out of a center. He’s an athletic, long big man who could protect the rim on one end and finish in the paint on the other. However, that wasn’t on display, because the Memphis Grizzlies didn’t give him much time.
The rookie out of Michigan State was behind a group of solid veterans. There’s no way around All-NBA center Marc Gasol. The versatile JaMychal Green was a major key in unlocking “Fizdale ball.” The only way Deyonta Davis would be ahead of Zach Randolph is if the veteran was either hurt or traded.
