player. 38. Deyonta Davis has that all-encompassing potential — especially on the defensive end — that causes NBA general managers to lose sleep at night. Davis is especially perplexing because he didn’t start the season as a potential lottery pick but is now all but assured to be selected somewhere between 10-20 in June’s draft.
<p>The 6-10 power forward averaged 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in just 18.6 minutes a game for Tom Izzo’s Spartans. His block rate was an astronomical 10.2 percent and he gobbled up 17.1 percent of all rebounds while he was on the court. His 7-2 wingspan allowed him to block shots most defenders cannot and even when he couldn’t get to the shot in time, he caused enough of an obstruction that he still changed the original outcome of the shot.</p>
<p>The Orlando Magic haven’t tasted postseason play since the lockout-shortened 2011/12 season but their recent drafts have been on the money with Victor Oladipo, Elfrid Payton, Aaron Gordon and Mario Hezonja. With the recent addition of head coach Frank Vogel, expectations will be high as Orlando executives are looking to reap the rewards of these great additions via the draft. Davis could jump in and give this young team the rim protector they sorely need down low.</p>
