Davis' professional career was mostly unheralded, but he did garner some national attention during the 1974 NBA Finals with the Bucks. With starting guard Lucius Allen hurt and the rest of the Bucks' guards unable to handle the defensive pressure of the Boston Celtics, Davis, an adept ballhandler, was called upon to play point guard (unusual at the time at 6'7") alongside Oscar Robertson for much of the series and helped the Bucks extend the Celtics to seven games.
