Early life

Davis participated in school basketball while studying “Perspectives Charter School.” His school lacked a gym and placed little emphasis on sports. Davis and his teammates went to a nearby church to practice.

He received “number one” player reviews from ‘Scout.com.’ He is ranked as “two” player by “Rivals.com.”

Career

When Davis and the rest of the national championship team entered the 2012 NBA Draft, Davis’ professional career officially began.

Davis has an advantage over other players thanks to his height, weight, and second-longest wingspan (7 feet, 5.5 inches) among all players.

After being selected first overall, he signed a three-year, $16 million contract with the New Orleans Hornets. In November of the same year, Davis made his NBA debut against the San Antonio Spurs with a team high of 21 points despite the team’s defeat.

The Los Angeles Lakers received Davis from the Pelicans in July 2019 in exchange for six other players. In October of the same year, Davis faced the Los Angeles Clippers in his Lakers debut.

His team lost 112-102 even though he had 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in 37 minutes.
