Kentucky duo makes one-two punch

US college Player of the Year, Anthony Davis, of Kentucky was taken with the NO 1 pick of the 2012 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets on Thursday, and moments later the power forward had even more to celebrate.

"It's indescribable right now," slender power forward Davis (pictured), 19, told reporters after shaking NBA commissioner David Stern's hand. "A great feeling, great experience. I've wanted this all my life, so it's finally here."

Davis's dream night was topped off when his college teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist became the second player taken in the draft when the Charlotte Bobcats made their selection.
