The escort is finishing his recovery and if he doesn’t reappear against Unicaja tomorrow, he will against Karsiyaka next week
He is the man for everything at UCAM. With legs that will hardly be better in the Endesa League, there has never been a priority in defense for Sito Alonso other than his record with the best exterior on the rival side. If he’s a great goalscorer then Davis goes. If it’s a gunner spreading panic from the perimeter, you know who’s visor will try to deflect. And if you have to raise lines and press the full field, poor point guard from the opposing team, who will at least sweat a lot to cross half the field.
That’s all Jordan Davis, but it’s more. While that defensive delivery doesn’t level off during the game, he’s always an offensive threat that rides to the opponent’s edge like a hot knife in butter, the go-to player in open-field situations and a player of few where the. 1.80 meters tall, reaching very high and able to absorb contacts with larger men. He may not be very consistent in shooting, but that’s why he forms such a good tandem with Thad McFadden. And your decision making is certainly the other major Achilles heel that separates you from a higher echelon of competition. The B side of always going at max rpm.
If his partner on guard gets injured, he will take more shots. If someone falls on the base, it is their responsibility to lift the ball. This time he is injured. Until last November 22, when his biceps femoris said enough in training, he had played everything in two seasons and a highlight in Murcia. Obsessed with showing a better level each year, he had entered the season on the wrong foot.
With three minus points in eight games, Jordan Davis got the upper hand. But in the Champions League, a competition with a lower physical level, an athlete like him found his own oasis. In the three games played up to his injury, he averaged 19.3 points, scored more than half of his shots and his free throw percentage rose to 83.3%. His last game, the best. Against Strasbourg, at the Palace, he went to 28 points and a PIR of 31, a figure that would have been more impressive if fouls received had been included in the Champions League, as Davis launched 12 free throws himself.
That victory over the French gave his team the lead in the group, one of which was lost in the return. The worst, the judgmental play-in of access to the ‘top 16’ for the best of three matches and with a trip to the other end of Europe for a team that has blamed fatigue for losing the player who won it. best take the burden of worked. Without Davis this thankless job was for others, and with UCAM’s #1 in the band dressed in a tracksuit and hood over his head, the worst Bellas, Trice or McFadden have been seen.
A month after his injury, Davis is about to make an appearance again. So much so that he will travel to Málaga and it will be on the Costa del Sol where Sito decides whether to join the squad, who has developed very positively at every stage of his recovery and who spent the past week doing group training with the league subsidiary EBA. If he doesn’t jump on the Martín Carpena parquet tomorrow (Endesa League match against Unicaja starting at 9:30 p.m.), if it is certain that he will, it will next Tuesday, in the first match of 2023 and the play- offs draw of the Champions League against Turkish side Pinar Karsiyaka.
Now Sito is left with a squad of fourteen players, two of whom he will have to exclude on call, four from the local team in the Endesa League and five in the Champions League. There are six who have this condition: Bellas, Klavzar, Andronikashvili, Jelínek, Diop and Sakho.
Choosing the lineup will be the decision of Sito, but that of Alejandro Gómez, that of keeping the young Georgian Rati Andronikashvili on the payroll, a temporary player signed to alleviate Davis’s absence, but who trains in Spain and is only 21 years old.
