  • Anthony Davis joined an elite NBA club on Wednesday night.

    The former Kentucky and current New Orleans Pelicans big man became just the fourth player ever to score 50 points in a season-opener.

    The other three?

    Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor. Jordan did it twice.

    Davis actually went for 50 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 steals, and 4 blocks in a loss to the Nuggets

    John Calipari’s goal of having half of the NBA All-Star Game comprised of Kentucky products may not have come to fruition yet, but many of his former players are legitimate NBA stars.

    In the annual NBA GM survey, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis and Devin Booker all received recognition.

    Towns, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year from Piscataway, N.J. and the Minnesota Timberwolves, was the pick of 48.3 percent of general managers for who they would sign if they were starting a franchise from scratch.

    Golden State’s Kevin Durant was a distant second at 20.7 percent, while LeBron James was third at 17.2 percent.
