Wooden Award. He was the Southeastern Conference's player, freshman and defensive player of the year.<br \/>\n But last season Davis played WAY under the radar for Chicago's Perspectives Charter (Class of 2011), a tiny public school on the city's South Side. As a 6'10 senior, Anthony Davis came out of nowhere to finish #1 ESPN, #1 Scout, #2 Rivals in his class. He was a 2011 McDonald's All American and 2011 Jordan Brand All American (MVP).<br \/>\n A dominant force on offense + defense, he could do everything on the court in high school just like he does in college. Anthony Davis averaged 32 points, 22 rebounds, and 7 blocks as a senior playing in the Chicago Public League's Blue Division.<br \/>\nHere are highlights from Davis' senior season in the Chicago public league plus a few from the McDonald's All American Game (Chicago).<br \/>\n Feb 2011 high school photo courtesy of SLAM's instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every college hoops fan knows Kentucky's Anthony Davis, winner of 2012 Oscar Robertson Trophy, the Adolph Rupp Trophy,&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,4,1975,41,23],"tags":[274,1759,355,172,73,57,2343,12985],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-11927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school","category-high-school-videos","category-hs-midwest","category-streetball-dunks","category-video","tag-anthony","tag-anthony-davis","tag-chicago","tag-davis","tag-highlights","tag-kentucky","tag-meanstreets","tag-hs-midwest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
