Whichever SEC teams refuse to double-team Kentucky's Anthony Davis in the high post will probably want to make sure they find a more capable one-on-one defender than the poor guy in the video below.
WTVQ's Jacqueline Sprague shot this clip Wednesday night while Kentucky players were entertaining some of the hundreds of fans who are camping out for courtside tickets to Big Blue Madness next month. When one of the fans challenges Davis to try to take him one-on-one, the highly touted freshman throws the ball off the backboard, sprints around his opponent and flushes it all in one motion with a one-handed dunk.
Granted it may not be so easy to do this against Patric Young or a Festus Ezeli, but that's still a pretty impressive display of athleticism. It's easy to see why Kentucky coach John Calipari would call Davis the most talented big man he has coached since Marcus Camby and joke with reporters that the lanky freshman can run the entire length of the floor in three strides.
At least I assume he was joking. If Davis can truly even make it past mid-court in three strides, that's a feat that should be on YouTube too.
