re: Another Davis Article

Problem is, the rest of the roster hasn’t completely caught on to that fact yet. Davis has the biggest catch radius in the league with his mobility and arms that go on forever, but you’ll see the Pelicans’ guards ignore him on rolls to the rim, or worse yet, not even put Davis in situations where he can roll to the rim.

THIS IS BY FAR the biggest problem. Not Jason Smith taking wide open jumpers. Its Davis working his arse off on defense and sprinting down court only to have guards ignore him. Then they call him over for a pick, just so they can ignore the roll or pop. We miss, at least, 5 pocket passes to Davis on PnRs, per game.

Our guards wait for Davis to be WIDE OPEN on the roll, which just isn't going to happen often. Sometimes you have to make a quick, accurate pocket pass, like the one Tyreke made to Davis late in the game. If they would trust themselves to make those passes Davis would have a lot more chances at the rim.
