Francis and Davis are very similar players, I'll give Francis the edge though. Davis is very injury prone, his "D" (like Silky said sort of) has been going down hill since his knee injurys. Davis also jacks up a ton of 3's (8.6 per game ) He throws up more 3's then he has assits. I can see if he was deadly from 3 (which is arguable that he is) but only 32% from downtown...
