Ten mid-major players to know

5. Antoine Davis, Detroit Mercy

Back in May I profiled Davis' decision to stay at the school where he's become a local legend. With 2,734 points, and thanks to the bonus COVID season, Davis is destined to become a top-five scorer in D-I history. Question is if he can get to No. 2, behind the late, great Pete Maravich and his 3,667 points. Davis averaged 23.9 points last season. If he averages 24 per game and plays 34 games (a reasonable projection), he'll finish with 3,550 points -- comfortably No. 2 all time, but still more than 100 points behind Maravich. Regardless, the hope here is that Detroit Mercy can have a good year in the Horizon League, as it would bring some relevance to Davis' final season. He's never played in the NCAA tourney and Detroit last made it there in 2012.
