Paris on Hannah
\u201cDavion has tremendous physical gifts that give him an incredibly high ceiling. He has positional size as well as length, and is a high level quick-twitched athlete that can attack and play above the rim. He has the ability to get into the paint, create for others and is also a threat from behind the 3-point arc. I believe Davion will prove to be a very versatile player on both sides of the ball when it is all said and done. We can\u2019t wait to get to work!\u201d<\/p>\n
