Davis is the first Badgers player to be drafted since 2015 and just the third lottery pick since 2000 joining Devin Harris (2004) and Frank Kaminsky (2015). Harris is the only Wisconsin native to go higher than Davis since 1990.

An All-American for the Badgers last season, Davis led UW to a Big Ten title while scoring 19.7 points, grabbing 8.2 rebounds and dishing out 2.1 assists per game.

"He could go between the 1 and the 2 pretty easily. I have great confidence in our backcourt that Bradley can handle the ball, both positions seamlessly. … We're going to try to have three ballhandlers." pic.twitter.com/mk1mWQCmMe
