Andy Katz likes him some Anthony Davis. He was one of the first people to start saying that AD is making a charge for the top spot in the POY race, as opposed to just one of the names in the conversation.
And now comes this accolade, naming Davis as one of the two best players in college basketball for the entire week!
Here is what Katz had to say:
[I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]Davis is as dominant a player as the SEC has seen since Shaquille O’Neal. He blocked 15 shots in two games against Tennessee and South Carolina, while scoring a combined 40 points with just one turnover. He was efficient offensively by making an incredible 15 of 17 shots in the two games and converting 10 of 12 free throws while grabbing a total of 16 boards.

The Wildcats easily won both games and had plenty of other contributors, notably Terrence Jones. But Davis’ presence is the difference for UK. Kentucky has him and no one else does. He is a game-changer at both ends with his stretch-Armstrong build. Davis will be the No. 1 player in the NBA draft, assuming he comes out in June. But he could also end up being the SEC and/or national player of the year as well.[/FONT][/COLOR][/I]
