Starting in 34 games for Ole Miss last season, Davis averaged 10.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-6 guard led the Rebels in offensive rebounds and block, coming up clutch in key wins over No. 4 Tennessee with a double-double and a 15-point, eight-rebound performance against North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament.
