An excerpt from the book:

In order to fully understand Anthony Davis’ rise to stardom, we need to take a look at his journey. It is important to know where he came from in order to understand his current situation. Anthony Davis is one of the most intriguing players to have ever played in the NBA. He does, however have a lot of improving to do. By simply looking at Davis’ appearance, you would not be able to tell that he was not always enormous growing up. In high school, he was only (at most) 6’3, until an 8-inch growth spurt occurred. Unlike most players who have huge growth spurts, the little ex-point guard kept his dribbling and playmaking skills, but increased his size. I guess you can say that Davis took his talent to new heights.

Anthony Davis attended a not-well-known high school (Perspectives High School), where he did not receive much attention until his rapid growth spurt. He was so used to shooting the jump shot when driving in the lane, and now started dunking on people. He never had to really focus on blocking shots or having to back down his opponent on the offensive end. Davis had a lot of work cut out for him and was ready for the challenge. He had to learn how to become an inside presence and quickly tried to do so. Swatting shot after shot and often stealing the ball from the opposing guards, Davis started to pick up speed.

Only one Division 1 school decided to offer him a full scholarship (Cleveland State) and he was tempted to take it, but his dad advised him to be patient and more offers would come. His dad was right, and soon enough the whole nation was after him. Though some analysts only pegged Davis as the 6th or 3rd best prospect in the Nation, Davis was still receiving offers from notable schools and eventually joined the Kentucky Wildcats.
