Most Likely to Lead UNC in Scoring- R.J. Davis

Was there even a doubt?

With Caleb Love’s departure, RJ Davis is expected to be an even bigger part of the UNC basketball program’s offensive attack.

With the arrival of some veterans and newcomers who can flat-out pass the basketball, Davis, as we saw in the team’s exhibition contest vs. St. Augustine’s, should see plenty of more open-shot opportunities.

We’re warning you now: we could be in for a HUGE senior season from RJ Davis.

Of course, Armando Bacot will be right up there in terms of scoring, but look for Davis to have a huge jump this season. Don’t be surprised if he averages anywhere from 18-20 points a night.
