| Anderson, James | Oklahoma State | 6'6" | 208 | SG / SF | Jr. | Anderson was the Big 12 Player of the Year and I think he is ready right now to help an NBA team on offense. ...He had a fantastic season - showing that he can score in numerous ways - and he can do it at NBA speed. He can really drive the ball. He has a post game. He hits contested shots. Bobby Knight called him "The best offensive player in the league (Big 12)." ...Perhaps more importantly - he also defends and is willing to do so. He averaged 23 points, six rebounds and two assists per contest this season. ...He is a strong right handed athlete that can make shots. In the Summer of 2009 - he was one of 12 players selected to represent the United States at the World University Games. ...He makes difficult high flying plays with the ability to finish in traffic. ...Uses both hands well. I've seen him handle with his left hand and finish with his left on a hard drive. ...Decisive; not a ball-stopper on offense. ...80% career FT shooter. ...Known as a high-character guy. …Was named a McDonald’s All-American in high school. |
Where do I expect Anderson to be taken? Somewhere around 14th.
Our best advice: In 2009 - the 14th pick was Earl Clark. We said - "take Ty Lawson".
Our worst advice: In 2001 - the 14th pick was Troy Murphy. We said - "take Michael Bradley".
