While I agree with most of what you said I have to disagree with this statement. I don't think Darrell ever checked out of games, mentally or physically. He certainly did not have the best basketball IQ in the world and many times made mental errors because of this but I don't think it was ever because of effort. To say checked out makes me think of someone who gave up or willingly stopped putting in the effort. I think the best asset of Darrell Davis was his effort level which often times allowed him to overcome his physical and basketball IQ deficiencies.
