The hype is slowly rising for Anthony Davis. He was a boss in Kentucky, he’s flourishing as a member of Team USA and in the years to come will lead in what I think is the Golden age of big men. Kentucky head coach John Calipari knows this more than anybody and from what he has said to USA Today, he feels very confident in what Anthony Davis can do.
“Right now, you look at (Davis) and say, ‘Man, in five years, he could be the best player in the NBA,’ ” Calipari said. “And this USA Basketball stuff pushes that date sooner. Again, here’s what it does for him: how to work, new things to add to his game, and confidence like, ‘These are the best in the world, so I’m all right.’ “
You could possibly say that the FIBA World Cup will be Anthony Davis’ coming out party. His performances recently have been great to say the least. And it’s only a matter of time before he is the dominant big man. But best player in the NBA? That’s 50/50 at this point.
