Brandon Davies

Brandon Davies is entering his second season in the NBA. As a rookie with the 76ers, Davies averaged 2.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 11 minutes per game through 51 games. He shot 42 percent from the field on 2.5 attempts per game and 64 percent from the free-throw line on 1.0 attempt per game. Throughout most of last season, Davies had a steady role in the 76ers rotation, averaging 12 minutes per game in November, December, January, and April. Almost all of Davies' missed games were due to a finger injury that held him out of action from mid-January to mid-March. Davies went undrafted after graduating from BYU, in part due to questions surrounding his athleticism and physical conditioning. He doesn't block shots and struggles to rebound, which could spell doom for a big man who also doesn't shoot well from beyond the arc. Assuming he makes the final 15-man roster, Davies is likely to continue to see steady but limited reserve action in his sophomore season. If Davies can establish himself as a superior alternative to Jarvis Varnado and Arnett Moultrie, he could manage to increase his workload somewhat.
