His career averages are 3.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per contest while shooting 39.7% from the field and 27.3% from the three-point range in 112 games.

Via Ersin Demir: “The Westchester Knicks are one of the best G League teams when it comes to players bouncing back to the NBA.

I wasn’t a Johnny Davis guy by any means, as it’s shocking he went top-10 in the first place. But he’s in a good spot to bounce back and fight for a roster spot.”

As for the Knicks, they are the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 39-20 record in 59 games.
