Summary:
Tyler Davis is a tough, physical bruiser that can get numerous scores in the paint, and he also can rebound the basketball. He will need to improve his conditioning and show that he can hang against longer, more athletic players. Right now, he may be a borderline second round pick if he were to declare for the draft in 2018.
