Anthony Davis, UK (2011-2012)

Anthony Davis may arguably be the most talented player to ever play for the University of Kentucky. The story goes that Kentucky head coach John Calipari recruited Davis as a guard since he was 6’3″ in high school. By the time Davis enrolled at UK, he was 6’9″. Instead of being a guard, Davis became a center.

During the 2011-2012 season, Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks per game. As a center, Davis can play any position. 2012 should be called, “The Year of the Brow” simply because Davis dominated college basketball in his lone season as a scholar-athlete.

In addition, Davis was the 2012 consensus National Player of the Year (Sporting News, USBWA, Rupp, AP, Basketball Times, Wooden, Naismith), MOP of 2012 Final Four, National Defensive Player of the Year, National Freshman of the Year, 2012 SEC Player of the Year, 2012 SEC Defensive Player of the Year, 2012 All-SEC First Team, 2012 All-SEC Freshman Team.
