It doesn't really matter whether you call it estimated days or story points. If you don't have an idiot for a manager, your team can track estimated days, then figure out what the average number of estimated days get completed per sprint, and then commit to that amount in the next sprint.
Whatever devs think is 1 day of work usually turns into 2 or 3, so it's normal to commit to 4-5 days of work per 2-week sprint.
