ESPN.com has taken a look back at the month of November and who they thought was the most impressive freshman.
I guess you kind of knew it had to be a player from Kentucky.
[I][B]Most impressive freshman[/B]: [/I][URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56353/anthony-davis”][COLOR=#225fb2][I]Anthony Davis[/I][/COLOR][/URL][I], Kentucky. Davis’ numbers are eye-popping in a slightly askew way. The scoring and rebounding look solid, if not great (12.7 points, 8.2 rebounds per game), but the real excitement — and one of the things that has scouts gushing over the potential No. 1 overall pick — is his block rate. Davis is averaging 4.3 blocks per game, which seems silly only up to the point until you sit down and watch him play. That’s when you realize he’s an athletic 6-foot-11 with a massive wingspan and a team of athletic, ball-hawking defenders around him. Of course he’s going to block shots. Even better? Because Kentucky has so many offensive weapons, Davis doesn’t need to score. The looks he gets are quality interior opportunities, and as a result Davis is shooting 71 percent from the field this season. He appears to be the perfect centerpiece for John Calipari’s hypertalented, uptempo team. No wonder the scouts are in love.[/I]
