- Luke Winn for SI.com writes, “Many Twitterers suggested this evening that Davis (who had 14 points, six rebounds and seven blocks) is, in fact, not human. That he’s an alien, sent from another planet as a shot-blocking mercenary. When he goes through medical examinations at the NBA Draft combine next year — prior to him being taken with the No. 1 overall pick — we will get conclusive answers. HIPAA laws shield Kentucky from having to reveal anything. I’m leaning towards extraterrestrial, though, for one reason: the aliens’ basketball breeding project spent so much time focusing on his defensive-reaction skills that they forgot to give Davis human eyebrows. The unibrow is a dead giveaway.”
