She isn't allowed to play her game, seriously she should've stayed at GT or transfered to a team where she would be the second piece to a puzzle at SC she is really the 4th option behind Wilson, Coates, & Gray,
If she wanted to play in the SEC she should've chose LSU or Kentucky (it would be her and Taylor Murrary's team next year when Epps & Akathor leave but she would've been able to do her thing there)
Or she should've went to Rutgers and played for a well respected coach where she could dominate this year and then have a running mate next year when Tyler Strife returned but MaMa Davis thought she was sticking it to Us (Lady Vols) by having her go to SC thinking its a guaranteed National Title not knowing that she wouldn't have the freedom she had at GT
If Davis hit the shots she takes, I don't think she would be getting as much heat as she's been getting. But she shoots a lot and misses a lot, and generally is a very low IQ player.
I am skeptical of it being an issue where she isn't free to play her game, and it seems that the bigger issue is that she is a volume shooter who needs to have the ball in her hands and chuck up a ton of shots to get to her 19 ppg while ignoring the other 4 players on the court with her.
I don't see her going to the WNBA at this rate.

Shootout in Columbus, Ohio as OSU leads MD 23-19 with 3 minutes in first quarter. Great shooting display by both teams...over 60% on both sides.
Mavunga is out, so Tori McCoy will get a lot of minutes tonight. Too bad Tennessee couldn't have gotten her. She's going to be a really good player for OSU.

I was having that exact conversation on cockytalk after the UConn game in regards to guard play. You got 2 top 10 players that are used as bail out players? They should be just as much as an option in the offense as Wilson or Coates. They have 3 top 10 players in their starting 5 but you couldn't tell it based on their offense. K. Davis should be driving to the rack not running baseline for 3s. She should be learning how to post up smaller defenders and doing a better job crashing the boards. Cuevas-Moore should be driving and kicking out or spotting up for 3s not passing around the perimeter waiting for Coates or Wilson to be open.
They do not have an equal opportunity offense. With that many skilled players it should be wide open. Anyone should be able to hurt you and as much as it seems that way on paper the game plan is the same as it was in the 15-16 season. There should be multiple plays for their 4 main starters. It seems more like the plays for the guards are only an option if Wilson or Coates are in foul trouble. Now when the guards are being asked to shoot they are either under duress of the shot clock or under pressure because you are only being asked to shoot when your team is down.
I would challenge them to stop throwing the lob all together. In reality I doubt Dawn changes anything. They have won the vast majority of their games and most likely will continue to do so. There are however fundamental things that really should have been cleaned up a while ago but if they don't think it's broken why change it. Unless they completely fall apart in the SEC tourney they will get at least a 2 seed most likely.
I was so hopeful they would move to a motion offense when she has been saying since 2013 but it's really just the same old same with new players. Basically the game plan is throw it to Wilson or Coates if you happen to score and neither of those are your last name... good for you.
