The future Kentucky Wildcat dropped a triple-double against Lew Wallace (Ind.) but Perspectives still lost 97-63. Davis did everything with 37 points, 15 rebounds, 11 blocks, 6 assists and 6 steals, dominating on both ends of the floor. He scored above the rim on the break, from behind the arc off the catch and dribble, on mid-range pull-ups, on wing drives to both his right and left, and turn shots in the post where he simply used his great length to elevate over defenders with ease.
Davis used his great knack for the ball to rebound in and out of his area and blocked shots in transition as well both on and away from the ball, and he is a great passer who was unselfish enough to hit the open man when he drew multiple defenders. Davis is super-talented and skilled to go along with his great size. He plays with urgency and toughness and was a treat to watch.

I am sure he will be a treat to watch in Rupp Arena, especially with great talent around him. Davis’ height is what is so impressive with his game, as he is 6’10” and plays like a guard. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait till he gets to Kentucky.
