<< 1977 1978 1979 >> -------------------- July 07, 2004 Walter Davis: 1977-78 Rookie of the year
Born: September 9, 1954, Pineville, North Carolina, USA. College: North Carolina NBA draft: Drafted 5th overall by Phoenix. Size: height:6'6" height:193lbs Rookie stats: gp:81 - mpg:32.0 - ppg:24.2 - rpg:6.0 - apg:3.4 - fg%:52.6 - ft%:83.0 Team standing: 49-33, 2nd place in Pacific division. Lost in first round 2-0. Comments: An 18ppg career scoring average isn't bad, but when you realize that his average minutes per game for his entire career was 27.9 you wonder what an extra 10 minutes per game could've done to his numbers, especially with the fact that he averaged a sizzling 51% for his career field goal percentage. -------------------- << 1977 1978 1979 >> Back to rookies list Back to NBA almanac |
