Davies has found another home. Signs with the Sixers. Hope it works out for him.

Another example of how journalism has slipped.



"Davies grew up in Philly"



He must have grown up fast there in Philly. Iirc, he was born there but adopted to his mom in Provo.

You grow up fast on the mean streets of Philly.

Played actual minutes in a regular-season game (win over the Bulls) tonight. 2 points in 2 minutes, +7 in the +/-

12 minutes: 4 points, 1 board, 1 assist, 2 steals, +14.

Davies has scored 3x as many points as Jimmer this season.

Yet Jimmer is 1 for 2 and has the highest field goal percentage on his team at 50%.

Solid. Good for Davies. Especially like the steals.

Philly is in the fourth quarter of a tight game vs Cleveland tonight and Davies is one of eight Sixers players to see the floor. So far he has 4 points, 1 steal, and 3 boards in 11 minutes.

He'll never make it in the NBA. :gross:

Wait, the Sixers are an NBA team? Jk. that is awesome for Davies.

Already beat the Heat and Bulls this season. Kinda fluky, early-season wins, but a win is a win.

With Orton being out Davies has gotten about 10 minutes a game for the last few.

Davies played 16 minutes tonight: had 9 points, 3 steals, 6 boards, and 1 assist. A pretty good night.

Cool. Thx. I was wondering how BD was doing.

He'll usually play from 8-12 minutes with a couple points and boards, but I thought I'd highlight his above-average night.

Davies had a really good game tonight:

By process of elimination, Brandon Davies just got guaranteed pay for the rest of the year as yesterday was the last day the Sixers could waive him, and they did not do so.

Hopefully when the Sixers go into full tank mode Davies gets a chance to play a consistent 20 minutes per game. If he shows well he can carve out a career in the NBA.

Good for him. But he always could step up in big moments. It was keeping pace the whole time and not mentally losing the edge that was the pattern at BYU. Happy for Brandon and Jimmer! Making the most out of their situations.
