UNC Basketball: R.J. Davis honored as New York’s top player

Archbishop Stepinac’s R.J. Davis had a decorated senior season that saw him become Westchester County’s all-time leading scorer, earn invitations to the McDonald’s All-American Game, the Jordan Brand Classic and the Allen Iverson Roundball Classic, and jump into the top-50 of the 247Sports Composite.

On Wednesday, the future Tar Heels led 19 all-state basketball honorees , and was named the 2019-2020 Class AA Co-Player of the Year by the New York State Sportswriters Association. This is just the latest in a series of honors in his home state, as Davis was also named Mr. Basketball in New York, and earned Gatorade’s New York State Basketball Player of the Year honor.
