 MIAMI (AP) - Glen "Big Baby" Davis knows what NBA teams will ponder when considering him on draft night. "Everyone knows I can play. Everybody knows I have skill," Davis said. "It's just, 'Is he going to eat himself out of the league?'" With Davis, it's certainly a valid question.
Once a 360-pound behemoth during his days at LSU, the 6-foot-9 Davis checked in for a predraft workout with the Miami Heat on Tuesday looking slim-for-him at 292 pounds. Not exactly svelte, but perhaps enough of an improvement to show teams that Davis truly has changed his ways.
And he knows his future depends on it, too. Only three men — Miami center and Davis' LSU big-man predecessor Shaquille O'Neal (325), Houston's Yao Ming (310) and little-used Washington center James Lang (305) — were listed in last season's NBA player survey as weighing more than Davis currently does. Each of those players is also taller than Davis.
