Former Indiana basketball standout forward Trayce Jackson-Davis had his Pro Day at the NBA Combine — showcasing his full skillset.
Jackson-Davis showed off his ‘vertical pop’ but also his ability to shoot the ball. Coming into the NBA Combine, the ability — or lack thereof — to shoot the ball was the major question surrounding Trayce Jackson-Davis.
“I just listened to what coach Woodson said,” Jackson-Davis told reporters at the combine. “He never said that I couldn’t shoot, but when I’m close to the rim and I’m shooting 60 to 70 percent from the floor every game, there’s not really a reason for me to go outside and take shots … I thought the team would benefit with me more being inside. It’s not that I couldn’t shoot. It’s more that I didn’t shoot.”
It was reported that the All-American forward hit 12-of-25 3s during a drill earlier in the week.
