Myron Medcalf ran down his 5 observations from the past week in college basketball for ESPN. Among them he stated the following.
Anthony Davis is the national player of the year right now. Alabama wasn’t bad in its 77-71 loss to Kentucky Saturday. The Tide just couldn’t withstand Davis. The freshman is a force on the defensive end and he’s evolving every night on the offense. He recorded four blocks and four steals against Alabama. He’s a special defender. He alters so many shots and just poses problems for every opposing player who wants to get to the basket. Right now, he’s as much of a contender for national player of the year as Thomas Robinson. And if I had to pick right now, I think I’d go with Davis just based on the way he’s impacting the game on both ends.
AMEN. Take that Doug Gottlieb, and the only other thing I would add is that this is January. Wait until March, when we are going to be watching some kind of show.
