Hubert Ira Davis, Jr. (born May 17, 1970 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina) is a retired American professional basketball player in the NBA.
He is the nephew of Walter Davis, also a former NBA player.
After attending Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia then the University of North Carolina, he was selected with the 20th overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks. He remained with them for four years until he was traded to the Toronto Raptors prior to the 1996-97 season. He also spent time with the Dallas Mavericks, Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons and New Jersey Nets. His final NBA game was in 2004 and he holds career averages of 8.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
Both in college and in the NBA, he was known for his accurate three-point shot.
At North Carolina, Davis averaged 21.4 points per game in the 1991-92 season. That was the highest single-season scoring average of any player to play under coach Dean Smith. He is one of only four players to average more than 20 points per game under Smith (the others being Michael Jordan, Phil Ford, and Brad Daugherty).
Davis is now a color analyst for ESPN's college basketball broadcasts. During the 2006-2007 NCAA season, Davis will appear on their college basketball program College GameDay.
