Baron Davis

Induction:
2016

As the No. 1 recruit in the nation at the point guard position, Baron Davis came to UCLA with much fanfare and did not disappoint. As a freshman, he played 32 games and started in 31, averaging 11.7 points and leading the team with 161 assists and 77 steals. His season was cut short due to a torn ACL during the NCAA Tournament's second round, and the Bruins lost in the Sweet 16 without him. Davis rebounded from his injury with an outstanding sophomore season, leading the Bruins in scoring with a 15.9 points per game average and earning first-team All-Pac-10 and Team MVP honors. Davis turned pro after his sophomore year and was rewarded as the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets. He averaged 16.1 points, 7.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds during his 13-year NBA career and was a two-time All-Star. In 2004 he was an All-NBA selection and the winner of the Skills Competition at the All-Star Game. Davis has also had success in the entertainment field as an actor and producer.
