Memphis Grizzlies 2017-18 Player Review: Deyonta Davis

Deyonta Davis’s sophomore season in Memphis has ended and it leaves more questions than answers.

Is Davis a suitable back up for Marc Gasol long term?

Is Davis even an NBA role player?

Will he even be on the roster next year?

I say yes to all three. I also would go further to say that Deyonta Davis could have a DeAndre Jordan or Clint Capela type impact if put in the right situation. Let me be clear, I see Deyonta as a LESS athletic version of either guy.

Davis played 700 more minutes this season than his rookie campaign, allowing the front office, coaching staff, and fans to get a better look at what he brings to the table.
