Nate Oats has ‘gut feeling’ that JD Davison will declare for the NBA draft

Nate Oats discusses JD Davison’s pending NBA draft decision.

The Alabama men’s basketball roster is likely to look completely different during the 2022-23 season. With the transfer portal hotter than a fire-cracker and the option to move on to the NBA, roster turnover is eminent for the Tide.

One player for the Tide that has yet to make a final decision on his future is freshman guard JD Davison. When asked about Davison’s looming decision while on “The Field of 68 Podcast”, head coach Nate Oats said his “gut feeling” is that Davison will eventually declare for the 2022 NBA draft.

Coach Oats would go on to say that even though Davison’s freshman season may have been a slight disappointment, the explosive guard is still expected to be either a late first-round selection or an early second-round pick.

During his freshman campaign, Davison averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor JD’s draft decision over the next few weeks.
