In 2023-24, he was tied for second on the team in scoring with an average of 15.0 points per game. After transferring to Ole ‘Miss last season, he averaged 10. 43/36/68 shooting splits. He also averaged 4.8 rebounds as well as a block and a steal in 34 games, all starts.
Davis has a reputation as defensively versatile, capable of guarding a number of positions. He also had a reputation stepping up in big games.
“He played with courage and like the player we recruited and coached and taught to be. Just really proud of the way he competed more than anything,” said Ole ‘Miss head coach Chris Beard. “We ask a lot of Dre. Position-less player; guarding all five positions on offense. Had some timely baskets, a double-double against Tennessee on Senior Night. That speaks for itself.”
At Seton Hall, he was more of a go-to scorer for Shaheen Holloway
Davis is the third SL invite following the end of the Draft’s second round Thursday night. Brooklyn had previously signed Grant Nelson, a 6’11” big who played for North Dakota State and Alabama, and T.J. Bamba, a 6’5” wing who played for Washington State and Villanova prior to transferring to Oregon. All three are seen as two way players, 3-and-D candidates.
The Nets are expected to add at least one more Summer League participant.
