Also, he stills hasn't even grown in his 6-10 frame yet. Scary, isn't it?
Davis averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks per game in his one season in Lexington.
He led the Wildcats to the National Championship with his raw ability to block every shot in his area. For example, to win this game against North Carolina:
Davis is still raw on the offensive end, but still has the rare speed for his size to get down the court and catch an occasional alley-oop. I fully expect Davis to be just like James was in his rookie season. He will take over games.
His exceptional defensive ability is well beyond his years and that will be a huge advantage for him at the next level. He seems to just have the "it" factor that is just like in the great ones.
Could Davis become one of the greats on the defensive end like Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Mutumbo? He could and I expect him to have that type of impact.
Wherever he ends up; Charlotte, Washington, or any other teams in the lottery, he becomes your immediate building block and star of the future.Davis won't put up the same type of offensive numbers as LBJ in his rookie season or career, but he will become the best defender to come out in the last decade.
Yes, I said it.
Davis has the versatility that could guard positions 2-through-5. Remember, he was only 6-2 a little while ago before his massive growth spurt.
I see the Naismith award-winner dominating the NBA throughout his career. He won't ever be that big of an offensive threat other than alley-oops with his speed, but his defensive ability will put him with the best in the league.
Davis is one of the more exciting players I've watched in my lifetime. Every fan of the game of basketball should be pumped with this kid's potential.
Anthony Davis is a beast on the defensive end. We will all be apart of his block party throughout his career in the NBA. Everyone get ready for this man, I guarantee he will become one of the best defensive players in the last 25 years.
Take my word on it too.
