BasterdInABasketParticipantHes ranked #5 in Rivals 2012 class and the #1 PG. I havent seen a whole lot of him but hes listed as a 6’8” PG. He looked pretty slow and unathletic for a 6’8" guy.
What are your thoughts on his college potential as a Magic Johnson sized point guard? How about as NBA prospect? He has about 20 colleges listed too…any word on his top choices??

OrangeJuiceJonesParticipantI’ve only seen two videos of him, but he did appear very slow and unathletic. However, he is only 16, so he could just be growing into his body. It’s likely that he had a late, sudden growth spurt. It’s very rare to see a kid his age with his combination of height, ball-handling ability, and court vision.
Here are the two videos I was talking about. The second video is from 2008:

Mr. ChicagoParticipantHere is a little on him off ESPN
They have him ranked as the #18 player overall, and the #3 SF in the class of ’12.
Here are the schools they have him considering: Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Virginia Tech Hokies, Miami (FL) Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Panthers, Villanova Wildcats
Strengths:
Anderson is a very unique talent. Anderson is a skilled small forward that can play all three perimeter positions. He is a great passer with excellent court vision and is a good decision maker and is probably best playing a ‘point forward’ position where he is a match up problem. He is a solid shooter with range to 17 feet. He is not the quickest or most athletic player but knows how to change speeds and play angles in order to be effective. He is a solid rebounder where his size is an asset. Anderson does a great job of finishing deep in the lane with his length. Kyle has added a post up game. He can post smaller defenders and shoot over them or score with power through contact.Weaknesses:
Anderson sometimes struggles in space with speed and quickness especially when he is forced to be the primary ball handler and he needs to play with more energy and urgency especially on the defensive end when guarding the ball or when forced to be physical in the low post. Anderson must add strength and increase his range to where he can be a more consistent three point shooter.Bottom Line:
Anderson is a very skilled perimeter player with great size. He is a match up problem on both ends because he can score inside and out in addition to being an excellent passer and ball handler. Anderson must play harder on both ends especially defensively. He is very talented, versatile and has great upside.Notes
Travel Team: N.J. Playaz…Wingspan: 84"…North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, James Madison and LaSalle are involved…

JNixonParticipantI have yet to see him play, but to me there is nothing more intriguing than a tall PG. I really am a sucker for that in terms of prospects

midwestbbscoutParticipantbut I don’t think PG is his position….point forward really he’s not that great a ballhandler…Magic Johnson is definitely a stretch x 1 billion….
