Well surprise, surprise…another top 10 freshman list finds our phenomenal duo holding court. Rush the Court that is.
Here is what RTC had to say about Block Man and Robbin’…
[I][B]3. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kentucky[/B]- Merely listing off MKG’s averages wouldn’t do the kid justice. He does everything on the floor for John Calipari, from shadowing as a backup point to locking up the other team’s scoring wing to relentlessly pursuing every crucial rebound. Terrence Jones may get the attention and Anthony Davis the hype, but Kidd-Gilchrist is just as vital to a dashing Kentucky start that sees the Wildcats one Christian Watford miracle away from being undefeated. MKG shows up when it matters most, posting 18 vs. those Hoosiers, 17 against Carolina and an insane 24/19 vs. Louisville.[/I]
[I][B]
1. Anthony Davis, Kentucky[/B]- Like many elite shot-blockers, Davis’ true defensive impact can’t simply be measured in blocks per game (although a nation-leading 4.6 per game is noteworthy). What can’t be tallied is how many shots Davis simply alters with his alien-like wingspan or how many penetrating guards instead stick around the three-point line to avoid embarrassment. Davis is also averaging a double-double and shoots both 64% from the floor and 67% from the line, which is quite impressive for a raw freshman that recently grew into his newfound body. Davis will be the number one pick in the NBA Draft for good reason.

Can someone please explain to me how Kidd-Gilchrist is number 3 behind Zeller?
