The Lakers used a training camp contract to sign the North Carolina backcourt core, but it may not be easy for him to stay in the team?

According to BallReportX reporter Rob Murrows, after this year's NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers and the undrafted draft, RJ Davis, also the University of North Carolina's big five backcourt core, signed a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses. According to Brett Siegel, a reporter from ClutchPoints, Davis has the opportunity to launch a two-way contract.

Davis was born in October 2001 and is 23 years old, 183cm tall and 82kg. He is a backcourt player with good scoring skills. In the NCAA field this season, Davis made a total of 37 appearances, averaging 34.3 minutes per game, with averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1 steal, 0.1 block, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 87.3%. Davis' performance this season has also been recognized. He was shortlisted for the second team of the ACC League All-Team, and he was also invited to participate in the G League Elite Training Camp.

From the perspective of characteristics, Davis is a player with very good scoring ability. He has rich offensive methods and relatively comprehensive scoring ability. He can use breakthroughs to complete scoring, and his performance in mid- and long-distance shooting is also quite good. Davis also has certain passing and organizing abilities. However, Davis is obviously short, and his influence on the game on the defensive end is very limited. His problems on the defensive end will be further magnified after he arrives at the NBA. Davis' figure is completely like a No. 1 player, but his ability to pass and organize is a bit mediocre as a No. 1 player. On the other hand, Davis is too old, and his performance has not improved significantly in recent seasons, which also shows that his future development space and potential are relatively limited.

Davis is the core of North Carolina's backcourt in recent seasons. His performance in the NCAA arena is indeed quite good. He has also led North Carolina to the NCAA Finals and can be regarded as a striking figure in the NCAA arena. But after all, the requirements for players in the NCAA are still very different from those in the NBA. Davis's disadvantage in body shape will be further magnified in the NBA. He lacks the ability to move without the ball, and his offensive efficiency is not that outstanding. These factors will also affect his development in the NBA. Next, Davis needs to fully prove his strength through the NBA Summer League and prove that he is capable of making breakthroughs in games at this level, so that he has the opportunity to get a formal contract from the Lakers.
