The Toronto Raptors have selected North Carolina forward Ed Davis with the 13th pick in the NBA draft.

The 6-foot-10, 225-pound Davis led the Tar Heels in rebounding, with 9.6 per game, blocked shots (2.8), and was second in scoring (13.4) in his sophomore season, but suffered a season-ending injury on Feb. 10 when he broke a bone in his left wrist.

When asked what he knew about Toronto after he was selected, Davis said his favorite player was Chris Bosh - who Davis may be replacing if Bosh leaves Toronto via free agency.

Davis, the son of former NBA veteran Terry Davis, is known for his rebounding, and uses his length to block shots.
