Average talent but at least hard work enough! The Warriors’ new star is actually not bad on the court?

In a previous NBA Cup game, the Denver Nuggets, playing at home, defeated the Golden State Warriors 129-104. After this game, the Nuggets, who had won three consecutive victories, improved their record to 62 wins and 2 losses, and their ranking has risen to 4th in the Western Conference; while the Warriors, who suffered two consecutive losses, have seen their record drop to 5 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking has also dropped to 8th in the Western Conference.

In this game, although the Warriors lost the game, the performance of the team's substitute inside star Trayce Jackson-Davis was still quite bright. Davis played 18 minutes and 30 seconds, making 4 of 8 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 9 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, including 6 offensive rebounds and 3 fouls. The plus-minus value was -9. On the offensive end, Davis also relied on his own efforts to create a considerable threat to the opponent's inside. His ability to scramble for offensive rebounds is even more impressive, and he also showed certain passing and coping abilities. Davis also worked very hard on the defensive end. He also showed his characteristics in protecting the basket. He also tried his best to defend the team's inside. Of course, limited by his physical talents, it is still difficult for Davis to play a greater role on the court. This is also something that can't be helped.

In the NBA regular season this season, Davis played a total of 62 times in 82 games, averaging 15.6 minutes per game. He averaged 6.6 points, 5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 57.6% from the field and 57.8% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Davis played a total of 9 times, averaging 8.9 minutes per game. He averaged 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 0.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 88.9% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range. Since the start of this season, Davis has played a total of 6 times in the first 10 games, averaging 11.5 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also has 0.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His field goal percentage is 47.6% and his free throw percentage is 100%.

Due to unstable playing time, Davis's data cannot be considered particularly outstanding. However, we can actually feel that his attitude is very positive, he is always full of energy, and his effect on the court is still good. Considering that Al Horford, the veteran inside player the Warriors just signed this summer, has not yet shown his strength, and Davis's role on the court is obviously much higher than that of Horford. In the next game, even from a fair point of view, Davis should get more playing time. Next, we can also see whether Davis's performance can be recognized by the team's coaching staff. Can he get more performance opportunities?
