Former lottery pick Johnny Davis has signed an NBA G League contract and was claimed off waivers by the Westchester Knicks, the team announced in a press release.
Davis will attempt to rebuild his career in the G League after a disappointing two-and-a-half seasons with Washington. The No. 10 overall pick in 2022, he made 112 total appearances with the Wizards, averaging 3.5 points per game.
The 23-year-old was dealt just prior to the trade deadline to Memphis as part of a three-team transaction. He didn’t play a game with Memphis and the Grizzlies waived him on Feb. 21.
Davis appeared in 28 games as a rookie and 50 more last season, including six starts. In his third season, the 6’5″ guard was a marginal rotation player. He played in 34 games, posting 2.4 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.4 steals over 7.1 minutes per night.
He moved up the draft boards during his sophomore season at Wisconsin, earning Big Ten Player of the Year honors while averaging 19.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 steals over 34.2 minutes per game.
Take advantage Johnny. You’re in a good place to find that NBA game.
