Scouting Reports:
Oct 2009 – Davis was quiet at the outset of the contest, but played well in the second half. He knocked down a couple of outside jumpers and was also very effective getting to the basket, both in transition and in the half-court. Davis finished strong at the rim and had a few nice dunks (Jeff Borzello at Eddie Griffin Challenge).
Aug 2009 – Another athletic specimen, Davis is an exciting player to watch. He drives to the cup with ease and seems almost unguardable at times. Jarrod can sky above the rim and throws down some nasty jams, but he also uses his athletic ability to help him maneuver in the air to create space for layups and finger rolls. Not a one-dimensional player, Davis can also shoot the ball from three-point land, which makes it even tougher to prevent him from penetrating. Some players who are stupendous athletes seem lost on the court at times, but not Davis (though he does stand around a bit too much on offense). Jarrod has a nice feel for the game and good court awareness. In addition, he rebounds the ball well and knows his position, finding the point guard after coming down with the pill. Davis needs to smooth out the rough edges of his game, and he is well on his way there. A wing who can really score the ball, Davis would be a nice piece of the puzzle for many schools (Alex Schwartz at Summer Primetime Shootout).
