Lucas: Davis Plays Beyond His Years

Posted Oct 14, 2009
Ed Davis never had any intention of being a one-and-done player. Within a week after cutting down the nets, he released a statement indicating he was "not ready" for the professional game. That lack of readiness had more to do with enjoying Chapel Hill than with feeling he wasn't ready to play at the highest level. Davis's father, Terry, played ten seasons in the NBA. (Tar Heel Blue)
