**Majerus on Mike Davis:**\\
"Mike runs the court well and is a good passer. He has to learn that at his size, rebounding and defense are the two most important aspects of the game. I think he;s going to bother some people with his timing, his long arms and his height. He;s more of a perimeter player than an inside player, and his contributions should come from playing food defense and making opponents contest their shots. I'm looking forward to the dimension of a 6-10 guy who can flat out shoot and can pas extremely well. He has been extraordinarily well-coached and is also a well-liked player."
