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 on-ball defense, and show that he can regularly play well against tough opponents on a consistent basis. If he can continue to play well, he could swiftly move up draft boards as a prospect for the 2021 draft.
