After Kentucky beat Ole Miss, 87-74, on Tuesday night, Murphy Holloway said what others might consider but dare not say: Nerlens Noel is better than Anthony Davis. “Just unreal to me,” Holloway said after Noel blocked a school-record 12 shots. “Best shot blocker I’ve played against.”
Was Holloway saying Noel was a better shot blocker than Davis, who led UK to the 2012 national championship and became the proud program’s first National Player of the Year?
“Just look at the stats, man,” Holloway said. “Twelve!
“To me, I thought he was better.”
