Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis has been on a recent tear and has turned in his best stretch of the season as he leads all rookie players in scoring during February.
As a result of his recent surge, Davis is averaging 19.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and one steal in four games. The undrafted guard is shooting 60% from the field, including 60.7% from 3-point range.
His 79 total points in February top the likes of Ja Morant and Zion Williamson while his 17 made 3-pointers also lead all first-year players over that span.
Davis’ hot month of February includes a career performance on Feb. 2 when he dropped 31 points off of the bench over the Chicago Bulls. He went 6-of-7 from beyond the arc in that game, which helped kick off his recent streak.

While Davis went undrafted in June, the former Ole Miss product has emerged as one of the top rookies this season and has become a key rotational player for the Raptors, who are winners of 14 straight games.
The Raptors have become known as a team with a strong scouting department after uncovering several recent hidden gems in Fred VanVleet, Matt Thomas and Chris Boucher among others.
Davis is the latest in line to contribute at a high level for the Raptors and his recent resurgence may have even been fueled by a snub from the Rising Stars Game during All-Star Weekend.
