Interesting Stat About Wizards Sophomore Johnny Davis

Last season, the entire world was eager and anxious to see what newly drafted Washington Wizards guard Johnny Davis would do in the NBA. After what he did at Wisconsin with the Badgers, it was expected for Johnny to duplicate those results in the NBA. However, great things take time to grow. You can think of Johnny as a flower or fruit or even a vegetable in a garden. We have to water them continuously for them to grow and sprout and be what we want them to be. That is just what the Washington Wizards did last season. He took time to grow and develop and he is still growing and developing now.

When asked at media day what he wanted to improve upon from his rookie year, Johnny Davis said "everything."

Now, he enters year 2 with a chip on his shoulder and an increased confidence that has been noticed throughout the organization.https://t.co/89TcdwjYir
