Deyonta Davis decided to declare for the NBA draft after just one year of Michigan State basketball and it was a decision that didn’t pay off.
Over the years, there have been a number of “what if” players to suit up for Michigan State basketball but one stands out above the rest: Deyonta Davis.
What does it mean to be a “what if” player? It could have different meanings. One, it could be a guy who got in trouble, ended up transferring or leaving early or suffered injuries despite having a bright future and never panned out in East Lansing.
