Looking back at the time Anthony Davis played for the Kentucky Wildcats
Anthony Davis made his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats in 2011. He was projected as the first overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, a prediction that came to fruition.
During the 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, Davis demonstrated remarkable shot-blocking prowess, surpassing many Division I men's teams in blocks per game.
In a memorable game against Arkansas in 2012, Davis broke the Kentucky men's basketball record for single-season blocked shots, eclipsing the previous marks held by Melvin Turpin and Andre Riddick(83 blocks). He also set the SEC freshman record with 116 blocks, surpassing the total set by Shaquille O'Neal for LSU.
Among his notable accolades during this time, Davis was named the 2012 Sporting News Men's College Basketball Player of the Year. He also received the US Basketball Writers Association's (USBWA) Robertson Trophy in March 2012, followed by the Adolph Rupp Trophy later that month. His exceptional achievements garnered widespread attention, leading CBS Sports to recognize him as their national player of the year.
Overall, Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks per game. Fast forward to the present day, AD has backed up his game after becoming one of the most menacing defenders in the NBA today. To add the cherry on top, he finally won the ultimate prize every basketball player dreams of after winning the 2020 NBA Finals with the LA Lakers.
