Deyonta Davis is our new favorite shot blocker
Davis recorded 5 emphatic blocks in the Grizzlies’ win over the Lakers on Monday.
Davis recorded five blocks to go with 10 points and five rebounds in just 13 minutes off the bench in the Grizzlies’ 123-114 win over the Lakers on Monday. Every one of his blocks was memorable.
