NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing 2020 McDonald’s All-Americans

R.J. Davis (North Carolina)

CG | 5-foot-11 | 164 lbs | No. 54 overall

Very few prospects in the country have risen up recruiting rankings faster than R.J. Davis over the past year. The 5-foot-11 combo guard was initially rated outside of the Top 200 for the class at the start of last summer but has absolutely soared since then. In addition to rising into the Top 60, Davis was named a McDonald’s All-American and then took home Gatorade Player of the Year honors for New York as well.

Davis is a remarkably quick lead guard with the ability to get to the basket with ease and also let it fly from beyond the arc. While he does not bring a ton of size to his position, Davis makes up for that with his athleticism and craftiness. He is mostly known for his scoring ability but can also create for others while running the offense. Davis is committed to North Carolina.

Dawson Garcia (Marquette)

PF | 6-foot-11 | 220 lbs | No. 30 overall recruit

One of the more versatile players joining college hoops next season, Dawson Garcia is a very intriguing prospect. He is exceptionally mobile for his 6-foot-11 frame and also boasts the ability to score both inside and out. While he does have room to improve on the defensive end of the floor, Garcia is already a polished offensive talent that can make varied impacts on the court. He can stretch the floor to 3-point range, beat his man off the dribble, score in the paint, and is an above-average playmaker for his position.

Garcia’s ball-handling is perhaps the most impressive part of his game. He is very advanced off the bounce with his ability to create for himself as well as others at his height. Garcia is committed to Marquette and will be an integral part of that offense right away. The Golden Eagles are graduating Markus Howard this offseason and will need a new focal point. This McDonald’s All-American could be that guy.
