On the one hand, the reason Antoine Davis has stayed at Detroit Mercy for four seasons is obvious: His father, former Indiana and Texas Southern coach Mike Davis, is the Detroit coach, and the two have gotten to enjoy Antoine’s college experience together, every step of the way. That’s pretty cool. That said, Davis did consider the NBA Draft this spring, and the same reasons he might have been a viable candidate for that route also go for why he would be an asset pretty much anywhere else: Dude just fills it up. He’s already a 2,000-plus point scorer after three seasons; he’s averaged 26.1, 24.3 and 24.0 points per game as a freshman, sophomore and junior, respectively. Nor is Davis just an inefficient gunner whose pops lets him take all the shots; Davis posted a 110.5 offensive rating despite huge usage (32.0 percent) and shot rate (34.1 percent) numbers. It’s safe to say that were it not for family ties, Davis would be pouring in the points for a much more high-profile outfit at this point in his career.
