Ranking the best available men’s college basketball transfers, high school recruits: Indiana snags five-star Malik Reneau--The Athletic

8. Antoine Davis | 6-1 guard | graduate | Detroit Mercy

His dad has let him rock for four years, basically shooting it anytime he could see the rim. He averaged 24.6 points and 4.4 assists for his career with usage rates north of 34 percent in three of four seasons. He’s likely looking to make the jump to a higher level, and so with that will come some adjustments. But in some ways the game could get easier for him on a better team. He’s had to create his own offense with defenses geared to stop him. That can be exhausting, and on top of the offensive demands, he rarely ever went off the floor, averaging 37.3 minutes. He was originally committed to Houston out of high school, and let’s say as a thought exercise, he lands back with the Coogs. Definitely possible considering the connection and chance to play on a bigger stage. Now he’d be on a team where there are a lot of other options and guys who can set him up. He shot 45.9 percent this season on catch-and-shoot shots, per Synergy, and that’s an impressive number considering he often didn’t have much space. On a really good team, he’d get much better catch-and-shoot opportunities. He’s also got some wiggle to him and can create his own shot. With better teammates and more space to work out of, he’d have more options when he shakes his man. It’s going to take a little rewiring. There will be more demands on him to defend. He’s going to generate plenty of interest, because the man is an elite shooter.
