An article that I forgot about yesterday was an interview Rivals.com had with Nike Hoop Summit USA Coach Kevin Sutton.
Sutton talked about the chemistry that Teague, Davis, and Gilchrist had with each other and how much they liked each other.

He also spoke about Davis and Gilchrist.
The interview was conducted by Jeff Eisenberg.

[I][B]JE:[/B] Anthony Davis’ growth spurt last year vaulted to the top of the national rankings in many people’s eyes. How high is his upside? [/I]
[B]KS:[/B] I was most impressed with Anthony’s length and his unbelievable hands. Last summer he was 6-foot-3 and now he’s a legitimate 6-foot-11. He runs the floor very well, he has tremendous hand-eye coordination and obviously his shot-blocking ability on the defensive end. I’m just real impressed with his overall potential.
[I][B]JE:[/B] Three of the four Kentucky recruits in the game were playing on your team. Could you tell they enjoyed playing together and did they have some additional chemistry? [/I]
[B]KS:[/B] They definitely had chemistry and synergy. They like each other an awful lot and they spent a great deal of time together off the court as well as on the court. Marquis Teague is a solid guard who’s going to be a very good college player. Michael Gilchrist is a basketball player that doesn’t have a real position in my opinion and is always going to have stats across the board. And then obviously Anthony has a great deal of potential and tremendous upside. I would venture to say Kentucky’s looking pretty good as long as they’re there.
[I][B]JE:[/B] What position do you see Gilchrist making the most impact at in college? [/I]
[B]KS: [/B]He’s a young man who plays so hard that he’s going to do whatever the team needs him to do to win. If Coach Cal asked him to play the three, he would happily play the three. If the opportunity for more minutes was at the four, I’m certain he’d welcome that opportunity as well. His ability to guard several positions is going to make him that much more attractive as a player.
