Anthony Davis hasn’t missed out on the talk. He’s heard the pronouncements by recruiting analysts that Nerlens Noel, the incoming freshman projected to step into his role at Kentucky, is a better shot blocker than he is. On its face, the notion seems ridiculous. En route to being named the consensus national player of the year in his lone season as a Wildcat, Davis swatted his way into the record books with 186 blocks. Is it really possible that Noel is better? It’s hard to come up with a better person to ask than the man himself.
