[edit] College career

The Southeastern Conference's coaches voted him the 2006 SEC Player of the Year, and he was also named to the All-SEC first team. In 2006 as a sophomore, Davis led the Tigers to their first Final Four appearance since 1986. In the crucial game of National Semifinals, LSU lost to UCLA by a wide margin in the first half and never managed a come-back. While Davis was expected as a difference-maker should the game come close, he shot poorly from the field (17 points) and only made 4 out of 10 free throws before eventually fouling out.

Davis is regarded in some circles as a very entertaining stand up comedian, and karaoke singer. His talents were most recently on display at the LSU Union's Late Nite program on 17 November 2006.[citation needed]

Davis was involved in a car accident early morning on 7 January 2007. He did not sustain serious injuries.

[edit] Pro career

On March 20, 2007, Davis held a press conference to announce that he will forgo his senior season at LSU and enter his name into the NBA draft in 2007.[1] He has signed with agent John Hamilton of Performance Sports Management.[2]
