    Who is Davis?

    He transferred from Lakeside to Garfield with all of the scandals going on in the Lakeside program ... shocking that Ballmer is involved there.

    When I've seen him play (granted I haven't watched him this year) he really irked me with his selfish play ... particularly considering that he wasn't the best player IMO on the Lakeside team. He's the standard Seattle player right now that is a great slasher but has a broken jump shot and isn't what I would consider nuanced in the game. I also didn't like his body language much as he was definitely very immature (hard to totally bash a soph in HS for that as that can improve).

    He's got talent but he's got as much of a chance to be a Wroten type player to me than he does to be a Murray.
    The two guys at Beach are better and Romar whiffed on both of them.

    Smith is not the same player after the knee injury. He got fat and now he is slow as fuck. I was mad when Romar didn't get him, but not anymore.

    Cunliffe on the other hand has improved a lot after transferring from Blanchet, where I was never that impressed with him. Kinda pissed Romar didn't lock down the white boy.

    JonJon still needs time to mature, but the talent is there.

    The key is getting Porter and Nowell. Lots of young local talent coming up.
    Cunliffe is the most D-1 ready player I've seen in years. Hurley will make him a beast. Kind of reminds me of Rex Chapman. White boy with hops and a little street in him.

    Very polished. Good athleticism/height, decent speed. Good shooter. But the thing that really jumped out this year at Beach compared to his previous years at Blanchet was his ability to finish around the rim with both hands using a variety of moves.

    Yeah. Transferred for his senior year after going to Blanchet. They won a ring, so I'd say it worked out.

    Somehow I doubt his family moved to Rainier Valley though...

    It's not like he's blond or anything.
