The Shimane Susanoo Magic have dropped out of playoff contention this season, but big man Jeral Davis remains a bright spot for the fourth-year franchise.
The center leads the team in scoring (16.6 points), rebounds (9.7), blocks (2.7, No. 2 in league) and dunks (39). In past seasons, Davis was not a go-to scorer, but could give the team a timely inside bucket — a putback or stuff perhaps — more times than not.
This season, Davis became the focal point of the team's offense when forward Thomas Kennedy (17.1 ppg) was released after 10 games. Since then, Kennedy has reunited with ex-Yokohama B-Corsairs coach Reggie Geary on the NBL's Chiba Jets.
