Small forward: Eric Davis Jr.

Eric Davis Jr. is the second member of the Texas sophomore trio. He comes into the year as the second-leading returning scorer right behind Roach. Davis is also the best three point shooter on the squad aside from Kendal Yancy.

Big things could be coming for this second year player out of Saginaw, MI.

The 6’2″, 185 pound gunner doesn’t have the height to guard traditional swing men, so if does play small forward, I would expect a defensive scheme that hides such deficiencies.

Davis averaged 7.4 points and 2.4 rebounds a night last year. He also shot 38 percent from range, giving the Longhorns a deadly athletic trio alongside Andrew Jones and Kerwin Roach Jr.

Put Davis down for 22-26 minutes an evening with 12-14 points and 4-5 rebounds.
