Davis Still Likely 1st Pick in 2012 Draft?
(Anthony) Davis was one of only two incoming freshmen to show up at the LeBron James Skills Academy. Given his meteoric rise from solid college prospect to the top of our 2012 Top 100 in less than a year, his presence at the camp drew a lot of attention. Davis did not disappoint. Although I could not get people to claim he was the best player in the gym, virtually all of the sources I spoke with claimed he was the best prospect they saw this summer.
Davis is still growing into his body and his game. But the skill level and energy he brings to the floor every night — all in an athletic, 6-foot-10 frame — make scouts drool. It’s rare to find that combination of size, skill level and motor. If he can dominate at Kentucky as a freshman, it’s going to be tough to knock him off the top spot on our draft board.
