ooooohh that was nice babbitt

LUKE BABBITT DRIVING TO THE HOLE

Maybe Monty can suit up for the pels tomorrow

What happened to Davis? I missed the first half.

For all his ability as a finisher — whether scoring in traffic off of a cut or roll or catching and shooting out of a pick and pop — Davis is largely dependent on teammates to get him the ball in positions where he can make a quick move for a basket. More than 71 percent of his made field goals were assisted by teammates in 2014-15. Add in the 62 putbacks he made per Synergy Sports data and only around 18 percent of buckets were “self-created.”

The difference between the two games illustrates one of his Davis’s few remaining weaknesses.

Gentry started DC at center for the game FWIW

Lets just ignore the entire flaw in that stat. He isn't bringing the ball up court, so most of his shots should be made in 2.5s or less after touching the ball. If he isn't, it likely means that the shot clock is running low. It doesn't state anything about his game with his back to the basket or elevating over the defender on a jumper (not to mention he was absolutely deadly from the top of the key last year)
