<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/alabama-crimson-tide/">Alabama</a> point guard <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jd-davison-59331/">JD Davison</a> is off the board in the 2022 NBA Draft. With the No. 53 pick in the second round, Davison was selected by the Boston Celtics.



A five-star recruit in the Class of 2021, JD Davison played one season at Alabama before declaring for the NBA Draft. Ultimately, it was a disappointing season for Alabama basketball. With a chance to break through, they faltered. They lost to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/vanderbilt-commodores/">Vanderbilt</a> in the second round of the SEC Tournament. Then, they fell to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/notre-dame-fighting-irish/">Notre Dame</a> in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. 



His season-high in scoring came in one of Alabama’s biggest games all year. He scored 20 points in Alabama’s upset win over <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/gonzaga-bulldogs/">Gonzaga</a>. That, along with his consistent play all year, are just a couple of the reasons why JD Davison was on the SEC All-Freshman Team. 



During his one season at Alabama, JD Davison averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. He also shot 46.3% from the field and 30.1% from three-point range. He did so on 25.8 minutes played per game. 



Prior to the NBA Draft, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/34011027/2022-nba-mock-draft-projecting-all-58-picks-nba-draft-combine">ESPN</a> mocked JD Davison as a second-round pick. That’s because, while he has a lot of potential, there is still plenty of room for Davison to grow as a player. 



In particular, Davison struggles to shoot from three-point range. He also has had problems with turnovers and matching up with other point guards defensively. Of course, those are all things he can work on and his high-upside potential is going to help in the meantime. 



The truth is that JD Davison is incredibly athletic. He’s a walking highlight reel, and he can dominate opponents with his speed and pure athleticism. 



If Davison can clean up a few issues in his game, then he has the potential to be a good NBA player. He just needs the time to develop as a player.
