Myron Medcalf ran down his 5 observations from the past week in college basketball for ESPN. Among them he stated the following.
[I][URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56353/anthony-davis”]Anthony Davis[/URL] is the national player of the year right now. Alabama wasn’t bad in its 77-71 loss to Kentucky Saturday. The Tide just couldn’t withstand Davis. The freshman is a force on the defensive end and he’s evolving every night on the offense. He recorded four blocks and four steals against Alabama. He’s a special defender. He alters so many shots and just poses problems for every opposing player who wants to get to the basket. Right now, he’s as much of a contender for national player of the year as [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/46114/thomas-robinson”]Thomas Robinson[/URL]. And if I had to pick right now, I think I’d go with Davis just based on the way he’s impacting the game on both ends. [/I]
AMEN. Take that Doug Gottlieb, and the only other thing I would add is that this is January. Wait until March, when we are going to be watching some kind of show.
