TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS' EFFICIENCY
Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis has been very productive and efficient, particularly over his last four games, scoring in double-figures in each contest. Most recently, against the Portland Trail Blazers, Jackson-Davis scored 13 points on 6-for-7 shooting in 17 minutes. The rookie big man has made his mark with his screening, rolling, playmaking, rim protection and rebounding on both ends. In particular, Head Coach Steve Kerr highlighted his above-the-rim gravity as a lob threat.
"He’s a lob threat," Kerr said. "Even when he doesn’t get the ball on those plays, he’s pulling the defense in and opening up other people."
