Insider article:

Something tells me this won't be the last time the 6-foot-10 flying squirrel will appear on this list. The 20-year-old Davis has bloomed alongside Holiday this season even though Holiday hasn't been able to find his mark with his own shot. Davis' biggest gains this season have come in the midrange, where he's shooting 39 percent compared to 29.4 percent last season. The more he stretches the floor, the fewer Zzz's opposing coaches will enjoy.

Despite all the ball handlers on the Pelicans, the offense falls apart when Davis tries his hand without Holiday on the floor. Davis averages just 14.7 points per 36 minutes with Holiday riding the pine compared to 21.2 points per 36 minutes with Holiday feeding him. The key? Davis' shot attempt rate skyrockets when Holiday enters the picture. With Holiday locked in until 2016-17, this partnership is just getting started.


Coming in number 5 with less than 20 games together is pretty good(although CP3 and JJ clock in #3)

I've only been able to watch in bits and pieces the last few weeks, but one thing that seems to be missing is Davis driving to the basket. Is he still doing that regularly? Early on it was one of his more reliable skills.
