At this point in his career, I think it’s safe to say that Ed Davis will never develop a consistent offense game. With that said, he still has plenty to offer an NBA team. For the Trail Blazers, he is a solid source of rebounds and energy off the bench. Surprisingly, Davis leads Portland in total double-doubles this season, despite being just 7th in minutes per game with 22.8. It’s a shame that he hasn’t started even one game for Terry Stotts. How many stinkers from Vonleh will it take to put Davis in the starting lineup? With an increased amount of playing time, Ed Davis could see a big rise in these power rankings.
