BoiseBlue All-American
Davies was a very, very good player his Junior and Senior years......
Sometimes I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves because he was never the "Best" player on his team - playing second fiddle to Jimmer, then Hartsock, then Haws. I think a lot of people wanted him to be a better athlete (Plaisted was by far a more explosive player, and Mika probably is too), but he had such a polished offensive game that it made up for the fact that he wasn't an amazing athlete. He was an extremely underrated passer as well.

If there was one thing that I was disappointed in, it was that he didn't seem to improve as much as I had hoped during his four years. I remember watching him as a Freshman - Some of his moves around the basket were sooooooo good - I thought "By the time this guys a Junior he's going to be an All-American". But he never really got that much better. If you look at his numbers per 40 minutes, only the scoring really increased significantly over his four years, and that was mostly because he became more of a focal point for the offense with Jimmer gone. He was a good player as a Freshman and Sophmore, then a REALLY good player as a Junior/Senior, but he never really made it to "Great".

Still an awesome player though. One of my favorites of all time.
