No Big Surprise from Big Baby

April 17th, 2006 | Posted by Matt

It’s a crucial point in time for many college basketball stars. They must ask themselves some questions - should I go pro and sign a multi-million dollar contract and begin my professional career and sign dozens of endorsement deals - or should I go back to school?

Gonzaga’s Adam Morrison can’t decide. Duke’s Josh McRoberts can’t either. But LSU’s Tyrus Thomas and Glen Davis - who formed one of the best frontcourt tandems in the nation last season - have made up their minds.

One is a surprise, the other is not. Thomas and ‘Big Baby’ Davis both loved being in the spotlight this past season during the Tigers’ Final Four run. Thomas, however, seemed to enjoy it the most out of the two big men and began seeing himself as a future NBA player the minute ESPN ran a highlight of him. Davis, on the other hand, realized he had a lot of work left to do before heading to the NBA, especially when it came to his eating habits.

Nobody wants to see another Baby Shaq in the NBA just yet. Good decision, Glen.
