DEL.ICIO.USSEC Watch: Rating the bigs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former Wheeler star Jermareo Davidson was considered one of the top post players in the SEC long before last night’s game at LSU, but his career-high 31-point performance in Baton Rouge ought to do wonders for his NBA stock.
March Madness in Atlanta:

And he rang up big offensive numbers against LSU’s ‘Big Baby’ Davis, who looks absolutely bamboozled on the court, as do the rest of the Tigers.
In what has become a seemingly unbearable ordeal for Davidson, he’s grieving from the death of his girlfriend in an auto accident and the shooting death of his brother in the fall.
Davidson briefly considered the NBA draft after last season, then returned to Tuscaloosa for his senior campaign. Where do you rate him among SEC big men? The league is loaded with Davis, Florida’s Joakim Noah, Randolph Morris of Kentucky, et al.
Which of these players will be taken first, presuming they all turn pro after this season? Which one do you think will have the best NBA career?

I think Davidson is behind Noah, Horford, and Davis in the SEC, but he might be a better pro than Davis. It depends on if he can add some weight. Also, I think Horford will be the best pro. I think he is better than Noah now.
