Charles Edward Davis, Jr. (born October 5, 1958) is an American former basketball player.

A 6'7" small forward born in Nashville, Tennessee, Davis led the McGavock High School Raiders to a 25–6 record and victory in the Class AAA Tennessee State Championship in 1976. He was selected Most Valuable Player in the championship tournament.[1]

Davis starred at Vanderbilt University during the late 1970s and early 1980s. He was selected in the second round of the 1981 NBA draft by the Washington Bullets and played eight seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Bullets, Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls. On March 18, 1986, in perhaps his most notable game as a professional, Davis led the Bucks to a win while scoring 26 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in only 26 minutes of playing time, in a 116–87 victory over the Washington Bullets.[2] Davis scored 2,214 points and grabbed 1,008 rebounds in his NBA career.

In 2006, Davis was the recipient of an NCAA Silver Anniversary Award.[3]

Davis is the cousin of current Vanderbilt women's basketball player .[4][5]
