Jazz big man Tony Bradley has supplanted Ed Davis in the rotation — but Davis remains a mentor to the young center

It’s now three consecutive Did Not Play — Coach’s Decisions he’s received, as Quin Snyder and the Jazz have moved to 21-year-old Tony Bradley in the rotation after Davis’ bench minutes weren’t working out.

After being regarded as one of the best backup centers in the NBA over the last couple of seasons, this year, Davis, 30, hasn’t shown that same level of production, averaging just 1.4 points in his 12 minutes per game. Scoring wasn’t exactly what Davis was known for, but the rebounding and defensive numbers have slipped, too. For whatever reason, Davis hasn’t fit well into Snyder’s system.
