Maybe a player that should have waited another year? He could hear his name somewhere in between 25 and 55. If he stayed at UVA for another season he would likely be a lottery selection. I suppose he is thinking that he is a bona fide pro prospect with a serious upside. He is probably correct. Anderson is a very smart player, makes good decisions, and learned a lot under Tony Bennett. His three-point shooting needs an infusion of accuracy but that seems to improving. (He went from 29 percent to 45 percent sophomore to junior year). The only knock on his game is that while he is good all- around, he is not the master at any one of the basketball trades.
Justin Anderson’s Stat Line for 2014-2015
PPG: 12.2 RPG: 4.0 APG: 1.7
Next: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
