Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis may only be averaging 8.2 points in five playoff appearances this season but the rookie from Ole Miss has been highly efficient during his time on the court.
Davis provided the majority of his damage in the first round against the Brooklyn Nets but has remained effective in the second round, too. Davis is shooting 67% from the field in the playoffs, including 50% (8-of-16) from 3-point range.
According to Synergy Sports, Davis ranks among the leaders in offensive efficiency. Davis is scoring 1.37 points per possession, which ranked second among qualified players as of Aug. 31. Since then, his average dropped slightly, down to 1.28 points, but still ranks in the 96th percentile among postseason players.
The efficient performance in the playoffs has been no fluke, either. Behind his solid play off of the bench this season, Davis managed to carve out a large role in head coach Nick Nurse’s rotation, posting 7.5 points per game in 72 appearances. He averaged 1.017 points per possession in the regular season, which ranked in the 68th percentile among all players.

The Raptors have consistently proven to have one of the best development programs in the NBA and Davis is another example of a tremendous addition through the draft. Davis appears to be poised for a long and productive career in the NBA as a result.
