Despite not being drafted in Thursday night’s 2019 NBA Draft, former Houston guards Corey Davis Jr. and Armoni Brooks found their basketball home with the Washington Wizards after signing as undrafted free agents.
Davis, who declared early in the offseason, was the Cougars’ leading scorer in 2018-2019, averaging 17 points through 37 games. The native of Lafayette, Louisiana started in 36 games, including three during UH’s historic NCAA Tournament run that saw the squad go to its first Sweet Sixteen in nearly four decades.
Brooks joined Davis in the draft after entering his name with the intentions of withdrawing it before the May deadline before leaving it to forego his senior season at UH and gamble for a chance in professional basketball.
