" --------------------------------------------- and Marc J. Spears on Yahoo!: --------------------------------------------- "Former Kentucky forward Anthony Davis has a reputation of not getting excited about much. He does, however, perk up every time he gets text messages from his likely new boss – New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams. Williams has traded texts with Davis since the Hornets won the NBA's draft lottery and the chance to take Davis with the No. 1 pick. Williams and Davis planned to eat dinner together and watch the East finals Thursday at the league's predraft camp. Davis is still learning about the Hornets and the "Big Easy," but he knows about Williams. "I know they work hard every night under Coach," Davis said. "It’s a great place to play." ""It’s going to take a couple of years to develop and play the way I want to play," he said. "But I will make an immediate impact defensively. I need to make an impact defensively to help the team win. I don’t want to be offensive-minded. I’m not thinking about scoring." ---------------------------------------------
