BIO: Davison was born in San Francisco and raised in Sebastopol, California (USA).

He was lightly recruited after his high school career at Analy High School and landed at West Valley College, a community college.

After two strong seasons, Davison attracted the attention of coach Lute Olson at Arizona, and was offered a scholarship with the Wildcats.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Bennett Davison made his NBL debut with the Melbourne Tigers at 23 years of age. He scored 29 points in his first game.

Melbourne would lose Marcus Timmons (to Perth) and replace him with Davison, who would arrive injured and be unable to join the team until six games in. The retirement of Tigers legend Ray Gordon also opened up another roster spot, which Lindsey Gaze would use to sign young and coming big man Pero Vasiljevic (from Canberra). Although Davison (19.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.4 blocks) would fill the hole left by Timmons quite capably, the aging core of the Tigers, including the 30-year-old Mark Bradtke (17.9 points, 14.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 blocks) and Lanard Copeland (21.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals) and Andrew Gaze (29.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists), who both celebrated their 34th birthdays this season struggled against the league’s best team’s. Despite the disapponting season, no-one who attended the round seven game at Rod Laver Arena will forget the stunning debut of Bennett Davison for the Tigers who also added 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks against defending champions Adelaide.

Melbourne finished in fifth place this season and scraped into the playoffs despite not having a winning record (14-14), the team’s worst record since they last failed to make the playoffs in 1988. Melbourne then lost to the Victoria Titans in the Quarterfinals (1-2). Gaze would be selected to the All-NBL first team for a record fifteenth time, the last time he was recognised for the award. This season cemented the decline of the Gaze led Tigers, with the team never finishing higher than fifth again until after the retirement of both Andrew and Lindsey Gaze.

At the end of the season, Gaze and Bradtke also guided the Australian Boomers to a equal best fourth-place finish in Sydney before both retiring from international play.

Davison signed a contract to return to the NBL in 2010 and play with the Gold Coast Blaze but suffered a season ending injury prior to arriving.

Bennett Davison played one season in the NBL. He averaged 19.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 3 assists in 25 NBL games.

CAREER RANKINGS:
– 12th in blocks per game.

    • Sydney Kings’ Xavier Cooks Faces Further Consequences After Positive Cocaine Test

      Sydney Kings captain Xavier Cooks has served most of his one-month suspension for testing positive for cocaine but may still face further repercussions from his club.

      A second Sydney NBL team is expected to be the league’s next expansion franchise, with Gold Coast, Darwin, and Canberra all encountering significant roadblocks in recent months. It’s believed the Harbour City Stars is the leading candidate for the team name, following a branding strategy similar to how San Francisco’s Golden State Warriors use a regional moniker rather than the city’s name. This broader identity would emphasize the team’s connection to Sydney’s iconic harbor while avoiding geographical constraints within the city. In addition to Harbour…
