Terence Davis Jr. was passed over by 30 teams in the NBA Draft. Twice.
On Wednesday, less than six months later, the former Ole Miss Rebel dropped 15 points, and secured 6 rebounds in 31 minutes to help the Toronto Raptors to a 114-106 win over the Portland Trailblazers.
For Raptor fans, he is an unexpected rising rookie who is playing significant minutes down the stretch on a young, talented roster off of a world championship. Davis is making an impact alongside Pascal Siakam, Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol, and the league is beginning to take notice as his minutes rise.
