It was announced yesterday that NC PF Ed Davis will miss the next 6 weeks, effectively benching him for the season. As a prospect, I doubt this affects his status too much. I was looking forward to seeing if he could elevate his game and team for a stretch run. But I doubt it would have changed my opinion of him much and the 2010 Tar Heels seemed like a tough place for him to show his best stuff anyways. Too many mediocre players taking too many opportunities away from him. Should he enter the draft, as I'm guessing he will, he'll be healthy for the workouts and combines which, right or wrong, seems to be the part of the process scouts take the most stock in.
What will be interesting to watch in the fallout from this is whether freshman John Henson starts to emerge. Henson has started to flash a little of the promise that originally had him at the esteemed "highly-touted" level going into the season. If he gets Davis' minutes and role, it should give him an opportunity to shine.
