SIGN UP HERE On Tuesday, Davison opened up about what went through his mind after being drafted by Boston.
"When I got my name called by the Celtics, when my agent called me and said the Celtics got you, it was just like, you're going to be in an organization where they win," he said. "So it was just really important to where I know I can come in here and get better every day and just come here and win. I was very happy."
Davison averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 33 games for the Crimson Tide last season. The athletic point guard believes he'll be a perfect fit for the defensive-minded Celtics.
"In Boston, you really gotta play defense. They're one of, I think the best, defense in the league," Davison added. "So you gotta come in here and be a dog. So I think I can help them improve on that and just be a dog on the defensive end."
