The Big Baby Is Growing Up

Glen “Big Baby” Davis will leave school early to enter the NBA Draft with John Hamilton of Performance Sports Management Group as his agent.

LSU fans may not be too happy, but here in Gainesville, FL, we were ecstatic to find out that Glen Davis will be foregoing his senior year to turn pro this off season.

For his representation, Davis decided to go with the close-to-home pick, signing John Hamilton of Performance Sports Management Group. Hamilton grew up in the same area as Davis (Baton Rouge) and attended the same high school as the 6’9 center.  With DraftExpress.com and NBAdraft.net projecting Davis as a 2nd round pick, we will see if Hamilton has what it takes to position Davis in one of the top 30 (first round) selections [Big Baby: ‘Leaning toward going pro’].
