Despite coming off the bench for almost the entire season, Davison still led the team in assists.

Given that he came off the bench, it is not surprising that he decided to declare for the draft. He was one of the most explosive players in college basketball and needs more playing time to develop.

The development will be the key with JD Davison, as he has plenty of athletic tools, but needs to develop the mental side of his game.

Davison and Kennedy Chandler have been compared to one another throughout their careers, but there are two key differences between the two.

Kennedy Chandler has a better basketball IQ, but lacks the athletic profile to be a surefire star in the NBA. JD Davison has all the athletic traits to succeed in the NBA but lacks the basketball IQ to be a plug-and-play point guard.

Of the two options, JD Davison has more upside, making him a more attractive prospect.
