Writing about the Magic today, this team, it is true that there are no superstar players, can only write about this youngster, the 15th pick of the 2020 NBA Draft: Cole-Anthony Is the son of former NBA guard Greg Anthony, who was initially expected to be in the top five of the 2020 draft, but after the injury in North Carolina, he struggled a bit.
Before going to college, Anthony led an impressive team at the prestigious Oak Hill College, and while his time in North Carolina was short and somewhat mediocre, it was a bit shocking that he was able to slip sharply in the short term. He suffered a knee injury and had to take a 4-6 week suspension after surgery.
However, he was also able to bounce back to prove that even if he was inefficient, he could still play impressive performances. According to Tankathon, he will be selected by the Heat with the 20th pick. If he's still in the 18th pick, the Mavericks should hold on, and he could be a surprise for this year.
Anthony is a good fit for a team that can give him a certain amount of offensive freedom and rely on his ability to create shooting opportunities and want to play fast-paced, and almost half of the round, Anthony is blocking or singles.
2. In the half-time attack, Cole Anthony can score 1.04 points per jump shot, which can rank in the top 21%. Two-thirds of half-time offensive shots came from outside, most of them after dribbling. Although his shots are somewhat peculiar, they are very trustworthy when standing on both feet, especially when there is an empty position.
3. Each basket shot can get 0.84 points (the first 88%). The NBA's space could benefit Anthony because in his freshman year, he was often defended by the opposing pair.
Showing good foresight and resilience when defending against opposing players with the ball, Anthony only let his opponents score 0.67 points per game (the first 37%) when defending singles.
2, good at fighting for rebounds and creating opportunities to promote the rhythm in the first time, has a stronger impact than most defenders in rebounding, and is not afraid of physical confrontation.
When you see Anthony, his defender is in very good shape, not thick, but very muscular. When he attacked the basket, he mainly used speed and strength, so in his rookie season in North Carolina, he was able to cut six free throws per game.
His athleticism is impressive for a player of his stature, his ability to beat taller defenders at his pace and his ability to score on shorter defenders with strength and height. Carlisle likes that there are different types of players in every position. The Mavericks don't have a defender like Anthony, who can be athletic and agile defenders who can deliver offense on the bench while proving to be a reliable defender. Hopefully he's getting better and better on this team at the Magic.
