Davis was an unknown basketball player at Perspectives Charter Schools' Rodney D.

Davis played his only season of college basketball with the University of Kentucky. During that season, he led the Wildcats to a National Championship.
Davis averaged 13 points and eight rebounds during his rookie season with the Pelicans.
