MKG 1st Team, Davis 3rd Mid-Season All American

The Sporting News has listed their choices for Midseason All-American and the 2 Kentucky freshman that everyone is always talking about have made the teams.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist made first team and Anthony Davis was listed on the 3rd team.

[I][B]Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, SF, Kentucky, freshman.[/B][LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=sans-serif] Is it possible the most complete college player has 16 games of experience? It’s not definite, but it’s possible. Kidd-Gilchrist already is the Wildcats’ top perimeter defender, a player coach John Calipari will assign to defend any of four positions. He is the team’s second-leading scorer although UK rarely runs a play for him. He is devastating in transition and scramble situations. His ability to make impactful, winning plays is uncommon for such a young player.

[B]Anthony Davis, C, Kentucky, freshman.[/B] The presumptive No. 1-overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Davis has blocked shots, rebounded and finished above the rim. He has done everything coach John Calipari has asked of him. UK just hasn’t asked as much of him as of Kidd-Gilchrist.[/I]
