Davis' second year of a three-year, $20 million contract was a letdown, a big reason being because his season was cut short to just 46 games after undergoing left shoulder surgery in March. That said, Davis wasn't a huge contributor prior to the injury either, as he'd averaged just 4.3 points and 5.3 rebounds across 17.2 minutes as a reserve center. It was a slight down tick in playing time from the 20.8 minutes he saw a season prior, which translated to decreased production across the board. Looking forward, things aren't going to get any easier for Davis. The Trail Blazers brought in both Zach Collins and Caleb Swanigan in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft, which adds even more bodies to the frontcourt and further complicates Davis' ability to get minutes. Davis was already behind Jusuf Nurkic at center and slew of options at power forward, and there's a chance the Trail Blazers turn to the younger Collins to operate as Nurkic's backup if they like what they see from him in training camp. That should mean another small role off the bench for Davis and it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately lost a few minutes in the rotation heading into the final year of his contract.
