He’s not the greatest shooter and his jump shot does not extend past the 3-point line. However, there are some serious questions as to how his game will translate to the NBA. He has great size and is extremely athletic. It’s easy to see why teams would consider taking him in the lottery. With Anthony being more of a true point guard, some teams early in the lottery might pass on him for a more versatile guard.Īchiuwa stepped up in a big way once James Wiseman left the team in December and became the top option for coach Penny Hardaway. There are also teams near his draft range that have established lead guards, so could he play more of a combo guard role? That might be tough. His passing is solid, but his runners and floaters in the lane were questionable, falling at a 25 percent clip. His jump shot still needs some work and he struggled from three late in the season.Īnthony doesn’t have much experience playing off the ball, and some teams might hesitate to draft him as a lead guard. He played 22 games and averaged 18.5 points and was ninth in the ACC in free-throw attempts, getting to the line more than 60 times. He has a great downhill game and is also a fluid passer off the drive. There is no question that Anthony can score. The team struggled, finishing 14-19, coach Roy Williams’ worst season as a Tar Heel. The ball-dominant point guard spent one year at North Carolina and was hit with a wall of obstacles, including a knee injury that sidelined him for six weeks.
