Ed Davis – 13th overall (2010)

Ed Davis was a fantastic get for a Toronto Raptors franchise already reeling from the pending loss of Chris Bosh in free agency. The smooth shooting lefty big slipping to 13th overall seemed almost storybook.

Players like Patrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe, Avery Bradley, Ekpe Udoh, and Hassan Whiteside were being considered by the Raptors at 13th overall as no one expected Ed Davis to still be on the board.

Davis averaged 7.7 points and 6.8 rebounds on just under 55-percent shooting in his 176 games with the Toronto Raptors. At his best as a Raptor in his rookie season, Davis logged 13 double-doubles. If not for a continuation of the Andrea Bargnani experiment, Davis likely would have had a much larger role for the Raptors.

He lasted under three seasons with the Raptors as they selected Centre Jonas Valanciunas in the 2012 NBA Draft making Davis more attractive as an asset. Davis was traded along with Jose Calderon to the Memphis Grizzlies for Rudy Gay. Davis would never surpass the 24.6 minutes per game he saw as a rookie.

He had his best NBA season at age 25 when he averaged 8.3 points and 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks on 60-percent shooting for the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis is still a serviceable big man but has seen his days as a starter pass him by.
