I agree--and to be clear, I don't want Davis simply standing in the corner, because the last thing you want to do with Davis is take him away from the action. I think there are times during a game where DC and Davis wind up being very close to the corner and getting kick-outs. Those are the times where I think it's okay to hoist a 3, assuming he can get those giant feet behind the line without stepping out of bounds. It's still amazing how Ryno does that, particularly since he's not exactly known for his mobility.

I think Davis's dribbling will always be limited to beating his guy 1 on 1. Guys that big aren't going to be splitting defenders or maneuvering through traffic. The ball is too high, and because the league is increasingly valuing quickness over size on defense, there are so many second defenders who could swipe at the ball.

Splitting defenders - no way. Multiple dribbles and keeping his head up on those dribbles to kick out would be major. Draymond can't split defenders or move through traffic, but he can do that. All I need from Davis.
