His teammate, LeBron James, also had a solid game, finishing with ten points, three rebounds, and three assists.

Davis has come off the bench behind Joel Embiid for the first two games, but that could change soon.

Embiid improved against Australia after fouling out against Canada in their first game, but he is still adjusting to playing with FIBA rules.

Davis has proven to be a better player for the US on both ends of the floor. With his ability to control the game defensively and on the boards, Steve Kerr must start Davis over Embiid moving forward.
