Terence Davis has been grinding for years to prove he can make it in the NBA. Although basketball has always been Davis’ first love (he began playing at age six), the 22-year-old actually developed into a football star in high school. Despite receiving 20 scholarship offers from Division I schools, Davis decided to pursue basketball at Ole Miss. That path has led him to an opportunity with the Denver Nuggets’ 2019 Summer League team this month.
“When I made that decision, there was a lot of backlash from people I knew, people I grew up with,” Davis said before the draft while speaking to Chris Dortch of NBA.
