THE SEASON SO FAR

JD Davison’s early season was defined by a chaotic struggle to cling to the fringes of the rotation. When given extended run on 11/24 vs PHX, he maximized his 18 minutes with crisp ball movement and perfect shot selection to post a strong +3.5 impact score. He flashed genuine two-way value again during a surprising 25-minute stint on 01/13 vs CHI. In that contest, disruptive defensive hands and poised passing earned him a +1.5 impact rating to supplement a modest 9 points and 7 rebounds. Yet, that fleeting reliability vanished instantly. On 01/15 vs OKC, Davison cratered the offense with a disastrous -8.5 impact score, jacking up a barrage of ill-advised perimeter shots to finish a brutal 2-for-9 from the floor. Until he learns to dial back the frantic pacing and operate as a steady game manager, he will remain an absolute liability whenever he steps on the court.
