Celtics' recent draft pick is earning rave reviews with the Rockets

JD Davison continued to improve each year he was in the Boston Celtics' infrastructure. Drafted at age 19, he blossomed into the G League MVP last season. In the process, the shy, quiet kid from Montgomery, Alabama, pushed himself out of his comfort zone to become a more vocal leader.

After rewriting the record books for the Celtics' G League affiliate in Maine, Davison had his contract converted from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract late in the season. However, Boston, needing to gain flexibility, waived him this summer.

The 23-year-old floor general known for his honeycomb hairdew quickly landed on his feet.
