I would say he is a good D-1 starter for an average team; then agree he's a solid #2 option on a top 20 team.

Hot Take: If Kyle Davis were black, we'd be drooling all over his potential.

Why would you even post this? Nobody is drooling over Jamaal Aytes.

Yeah, but Aytes can't crack the lineup let alone avg. 12 pts and 7.5 boards ppg.
