Billy Donovan praised the shot-blocking ability of Anthony Davis, who leads the country with 138 rejections.

"He's definitely one of the best of all time," Donovan said.

After noting that he was not old enough to remember Hall of Fame centers such as Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain, Donovan said of Davis, "Certainly, here in recent times, the last 20, 25 years, he's as good as anybody out there."

Donovan noted Davis’ slight build and credited the UK freshman on how he blocks shots with length, timing, and quick feet.

"He's a quick jumper," Donovan said. "He's got long arms. ... He has an ability to become a lot longer than he appears, and very quickly. And it's different from most guys."
