Summary:
Trayce Jackson-Davis is an athletic, energetic big man that can score in the post, rebound, and block shots to help his team on both ends of the floor. He is a very good scorer and rebounder in the paint, but he may need to improve his face-up game and on-ball defense. He has played very well so far this season, and he could project to go in the late first to the second round range for the 2021 draft.
