Terence Davis II spent the first 64 games of his NBA career proving himself worthy of the trust of his Raptors teammates and nothing, not even a four-month hiatus to the season, is going to stop him from continuing that pursuit with a championship on the line.
Davis is unproven but could be asked to play a significant role when the Raptors begin defence of their title later this month in the cauldron of intensity that is the NBA post-season.
It is a big ask of the undrafted 23-year-old guard.
“I would come into this more mature, being that I went through three-fourths of a season just growing up, maturing, taking the steps in the right direction,” Davis said Thursday on a video conference call with reporters.
