Jon did well at the event and it got him on draft radars before the season, then he shat the bed the first half.of last season and played his way out of draft discussions.

I really like Davis but seriously who did he have beside him that was a legit starter at the DI level. Ajkuwa and White, maybe. I don't think Ajkuwa ever played to the potential or hype that surrounded him and White really never impressed me that much. Haslam still has a year to show he is the ability to play good in a system, last year he was just sortta there.
I think a lot of Davis's struggles last year was everyone with a pulse smothered Davis on defense by either double or tripling him or rotating 2 or 3 off of him every play down the court and basically dared the other 4 on the floor to beat them.

White was a decent player. He transferred to Wake. I guess they saw enough out of him to pay for him to attend for two years to only play one.

Wake isn't what they were 12-15 years ago. They haven't done that much since the death of Skip Prosser in 2007. Also Manning isn't setting the world on fire there, he is 54-72 and his coaching career there is on life support. His best season was 2017 at 19-14. They have made NCAAs just 3 times in a multi bid ACC. In 2009 they lost to Cleveland State in the 1st round, in 2010 they beat Texas in the 1st round by 1 and got stomped by #1 Kentucky in the 2nd round and in 2017 bowed out to Kansas State in a play in game in Dayton. Also no NITs.
Also Wake took Terrence Thompson who played 2 years at Marshall and had a cup of coffee at Charlotte, he played 503 mins and scored 107 points on the season, probably about what you will see from White next year. Also the scholarship freed up from Thompson allowed us to bring in Darius George a year early, I think we would have lost George if that wouldn't have happened.
