"He tries to beat opposing centers downcourt on fastbreaks, is always slamming the offensive glass after teammates' shots and perpetually dives hard to the rim as a roller within the team's complicated offensive sets. In the process, the third-year center has become a dependable option off the bench for Kerr, who asserted that limiting Jackson-Davis' minutes is actually the key to unlocking his potential."
"He's at his best when he's really sprinting the floor. That is exactly what Jackson-Davis has done over the past seven games, when he re-entered the lineup after a week of inaction. He has played in every game since Dec. 4 after seeing time in only 12 of their first 22 this season. The 25-year-old big man is averaging 13.9 minutes per game, making 70.6% of his field goals, grabbing 4.4 rebounds a night while blocking a shot per game."
Trayce Jackson-Davis, a 6-foot-9, 248-pound third-year center, excels as an energetic, above-the-rim reserve for the Golden State Warriors. Coach Steve Kerr prefers to use him in short bursts to capitalize on his sprinting, rim-running and finishing ability. Since re-entering the lineup on Dec. 4 after a week off, Jackson-Davis has averaged 13.9 minutes, 70.6% shooting, 4.4 rebounds and one block per game. He has registered 15 dunks in 19 games this season and produced seven rebounds, including three offensive, in 17 minutes during one contest when pressed into action.
