Lol yah this could be the best he ever plays lets not get carried away.
There is a pretty big difference though, Jerome James was 29 when he had that good playoff series. He also was coming off of the worst per minute numbers year of his entire career, and his per minute stats had largely been declining already.
It would take a huge idiot to take a guy who was 29, had never been more than a role player his whole career, and actually had the worst per minute numbers of his career and had never played more than 17 minutes per game in his career deserved the full MLE.
Davis may get overpaid by his next deal, but there is at least a legitimate reason to hope that he's going to be a better player in the future as at least he's only 23 right now. However, he does have the same trend of having worse per minute numbers this year as opposed to last year, and is stepping up specifically in the playoffs.
I thought Jerome James was the stupidest signing I'd ever seen at the time. With Davis I think there's a possibility that this playoffs is a stepping stone for him and that he'll go on to bigger and better things.
