William Sidney Davis II[1] (born November 9, 1992) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Kaohsiung Steelers of the P. League+. He played college basketball at UC Irvine.
Davis was born and grew up in Sacramento, California, and attended Sacramento High School. He was 5-foot-9 as a freshman but grew to 6–5 by the end of his sophomore year. Davis played on the junior varsity basketball until his junior year and did not see significant playing time until his senior season, when he averaged 9.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. After receiving interest from only one Division I basketball program, Davis opted to complete a fifth year at the New Hampton School in New Hampton, New Hampshire.[2]
College career
Davis played four seasons for the Anteaters and was the team's starting power forward for his final three. As a freshman, Davis set the school record for blocks in a season with 55. He was named the Big West Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore and broke his previous school record and led the conference with 88 blocked shots.[3] As a senior, Davis was named first team All-Big West and led the team with 12.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2015 Big West Conference tournament as UC Irvine won its first conference championship and received its first-ever bid to the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.[2] He finished his career with a school-record 208 blocks (4th most in Big West history), 852 career rebounds (2nd in school history) and 8th in scoring with 1,384 points.[4]
