Block History: A Look at Anthony Davis’ Record Smashing Trajectory

Kyle Tucker, of the Courier Journal, takes a look at Anthony Davis’ history making block stats and what he is on pace to do this year:
[I]*Shatter the UK single-season record, finishing with 176 swats, which would be 93 more than the current record.

*Finish fifth on UK’s CAREER blocks list, despite playing just one season. (No, folks, there is no chance he’s sticking around for a sophomore season.)

* Nearly DOUBLE the UK single-season blocks-per-game record of 2.857, held for now by Sam Bowie.

* Break the SEC single-season blocks record of 170 set by Mississippi State’s James Vernado in both 2009 and 2010.

* Post the third-highest block total by a freshman in NCAA history and the eighth-highest total by any player in NCAA history.

…if this pace keeps up, Davis will help UK shatter the school, SEC and NCAA records for blocks and blocks per game.
