Hubert Davis
Position: Assistant Coach
Alma Mater: North Carolina '92
Experience: 1st Year
Former Tar Heel guard, 12-year NBA veteran and ESPN analyst Hubert Davis begins his first season as a member of the Carolina Basketball coaching staff.
 
Davis worked the past seven years with ESPN as a highly-regarded college basketball analyst and co-host of College GameDay. He filled the coaching vacancy created when Jerod Haase, who spent nine years on Williams' UNC staff, was named the head coach at UAB.
 
The Burke, Va., native played in 137 games as a Tar Heel from 1988-92, during which time UNC went 102-37, won the 1989 and 1991 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournaments and played in the 1991 Final Four. He scored 1,615 points, an average of 11.8 per game, and holds the UNC record for career three-point percentage at .435 (197 of 453). He scored in double figures 80times and had 23 games with 20 or more points.
 
He scored in double figures in each of his last eight NCAA Tournament games, averaging 18.5 points in those games. That included 19 against Temple in the 1991 NCAA East Regional final and 25 against Kansas (coached by Roy Williams) in the 1991 Final Four.
 
Davis averaged 21.4 points and earned second-team All-ACC honors as a senior. He scored in double figures in 32 of 33 games that season, including 20 games with 20 or more points and 30 or more in four games. He netted a career-high 35 points at Duke on March 8, 1992. That 35-point game was part of a seven-game stretch late in the season in which he averaged a prolific 28.7 points.
 
As a junior, Davis made 64 of 131 three-pointers, a percentage of .489 that is second-best in UNC history. He shares the UNC single-game record for three-pointers, as he made eight at Florida State as a senior.
 
The New York Knicks selected Davis with the 20th pick in the first round of the 1992 NBA Draft. He played 12 seasons in the NBA, scoring 5,583 points, an average of 8.2 per contest. He made 728 three-point field goals and is currently third in NBA history in three-point percentage at .441.
 
Davis graduated from UNC in 1992 with a degree in criminal justice. He and his wife, Leslie, have three children - Elijah, Bobbie Grace and Micah. His uncle, Walter, starred at UNC from 1973-77, and was a six-time NBA All-Star with the Phoenix Suns.
