Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis on Tuesday was named to the 2019-20 NBA All-Rookie Second Team, the 11th player in franchise history to receive the honor and the first since Jonas Valanciunas in 2013.
Davis, who went undrafted, averaged 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 72 games played this season. He shot 45.6% from the field and 38.8% from 3-point range and finished fifth among qualified rookies in 3-point percentage and eighth in field-goal percentage.
The 23-year-old received 30 first-place votes from a panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters while he earned 36 second-team votes. He was the seventh-leading vote-getter in the final results and finished ahead of the likes of R.J. Barrett and Coby White among others.
After the results were announced, Davis received recognition from former NBA champion, and ESPN analyst, Kendrick Perkins on social media. Perkins apparently coached Davis last year at the NBA Draft Combine and knew he would be a steal this season.
Congrats to Terence Davis for making All-Rookie Second Team…well deserved!!! I coached him at the NBA Combine and said he was going to be steal in the Draft.👌🏾🔥👊🏾

Davis emerged as a key player for the Raptors and was the only player on the roster to appear in all 72 regular-season games. He scored in double figures 26 times and became the first rookie in team history to score at least 30 points off the bench when he recorded 31 points on Feb. 2.
