Dorning the North Carolina Blue and White, RJ Davis’s basketball career is set to a great start and accumulation of fame and wealth. He is estimated to be worth $625,000 as of 2023, but we’d expect that figure to increase when he enters the NBA. Already, his stats are excellent, and he checks all the boxes for an NBA draft, except you consider that he is of minimum height for a point guard.
RJ Davis Net Worth
RJ Davis is currently estimated to have a net worth of $625,000, primarily attributed to his college basketball career at the University of North Carolina and his NIL deals. It’s worth noting that as of 2015/2014, RJ Davis was still attending Archbishop Stepinac High School, so his career is still in its early stages. However, once drafted into the NBA, his net worth is expected to grow into the millions.
Already, his NIL, managed by Postgame, is paying off with deals with brands such as DICK’S Sporting Goods, Athletic Brewing Co, Intuit TurboTax, Wingstop, CVS Pharmacy, Simple Truth, ZIPS Car Wash, Nerf, and T-shirt designs for Chapel Hill Sportswear.
Currently, RJ Davis’s basketball salary is undisclosed due to NCAA regulations.

He started playing for North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball during the 2019/2020 season, turning down offers from Georgetown Hoyas, Marquette Golden Eagles, Pittsburgh Panthers, Indiana Hoosiers, Kansas Jayhawks, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, and California Golden Bears.
RJ had a remarkable basketball career, during which he achieved several milestones. In his freshman year, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game and was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Team. The following year, he set a then-career-high of 26 points against Brown and surpassed it by scoring 30 points in a significant NCAA Tournament win over Baylor. This achievement made him the first Tar Heel to score 30 points with at least five rebounds and five assists in an NCAA tournament game.
RJ’s senior year was marked by several personal bests, including scoring 36 points against Wake Forest and 42 points in a win over Miami. This performance set a record for the most points scored at the Dean Smith Center and the most by a North Carolina player since 1998.
