Updating a previous report, Davis was bypassed for the start at power forward in Sunday's game against the Hornets, as the Blazers decided to go with Noah Vonleh in that spot, Jason Quick of CSN Northwest reports.

Updating a previous report, Davis was bypassed for the start at power forward in Sunday's game against the Hornets, as the Blazers decided to go with Noah Vonleh in that spot, Jason Quick of CSN Northwest reports.

Analysis:

After Meyers Leonard (shoulder) was ruled out for at least a month a few days earlier, Chris Kaman received the first crack at filling the starting spot in Friday's game against the Grizzlies, and it was initially reported that the next opportunity would go to Davis. However, coach Terry Stotts made the late choice to give Vonleh his first start of the season against the team that drafted him. Davis has ranked ahead of both Vonleh and Kaman in the Blazers' frontcourt rotation throughout the season, so even while he remains relegated to a bench role for the time being, Davis still likely maintains the most fantasy appeal of the three big men.
