Davis led the Badgers in several categories. He helped the team win the Big 10 regular-season championship and make a tournament appearance without much support around him.
Davis was also a clutch performer and took over several games to lead Wisconsin to victory.
While Davis showed many skills NBA teams value, he also has some areas to improve on. He lacks the athleticism and pure shooting needed to thrive in the NBA.
Still, his inability to get open during his NCAA years could be because opposing teams focused on him so much.
As the draft approaches, Davis will look to prove that he is an elite player who can carry an NBA team just like he did in college.
