He is the second generation of stars, but he is also a draft relation, and the Warriors' No. 57 pick dug up a new version of Curry's protector 

In the Warriors' overtime victory over the Celtics, Tress Jackson Davis came off the bench to score 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks on 5-of-7 shooting in 29 minutes, with a game-high plus/minus of +25 points, and was one of the heroes of the Warriors' comeback.

The Warriors' 2023 draft pick, Podzemski, who was selected with the No. 19 pick, and Jackson Davis, who was selected with the No. 57 pick, have both made a name for themselves.

Star 2nd generation

Jackson Davis's father is Dale Davis, the elder Davis was selected by the Pacers with the No. 13 pick in 1991, gave the best 9 years to the Pacers, worked hard to assist Reggie Miller, and was selected as an All-Star in the 1999-2000 season by averaging 10 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game, and was a model of a blue-collar center. Davis Sr. spent four seasons with the Trail Blazers, returned to the Pacers after half a season with the Warriors in 2004, joined the Pistons for the last two years, and retired in 2007.

Now that Jackson Davis is assisting Curry, the father and son have assisted two historical shooters, which can also be called a good story about inheritance.

Jackson Davis once mentioned the difference between himself and his father, saying: "My dad played more of a meat shield when he was playing, but now the times are different, more technical, and my characteristics are very suitable for this era." Jackson Davis also revealed that he asked his father for advice on how to help a super shooter.

Before the 2023 draft, Jackson Davis went to several teams for tryouts, including the Pacers and Warriors, where Davis Sr. once played. No team wants to put a first-round pick to a blue-collar interior who played four years in college, but there are teams in the top 30 that have contacted Jackson Davis' agent, but they're only willing to offer a two-way contract.

Jackson Davis's experience was similar to that of Austin Reaves, when his agent told teams with second-round picks who were interested in him not to pick up a guaranteed contract before it was too late. Because the Warriors are trying to trade for a second-round pick to pick Jackson Davis and are willing to give him a guaranteed contract, Jackson Davis made the first round in the Warriors' internal mock draft list. However, because of the uncertainty of whether the Warriors will get a second-round pick, Jackson Davis' agent kept it a secret from everyone.

It is worth mentioning that Jackson Davis's agent is called James Dunleavy and is the younger brother of Dunleavy Jr. My brother has just taken office and needs help, and my younger brother must be fully supported. From that perspective, Jackson Davis is a draft relation.

Because of James Dunleavy's "threat", no team selected Jackson Davis, and no team was selected by the 57th pick. The Warriors rushed to contact the Wizards to expand the size of the Poole for Paul deal, including Baldwin in the deal, and trading back for the No. 57 pick to pick Jackson Davis.

This season, Jackson Davis has not played much playing time, but he has played the role of a surprise man again and again in the days when Draymond Green is absent or suspended due to injury.
