He’s a point guard who spent just one year playing college basketball at the University of North Carolina, making a strong impression in that short time. During his freshman season, he showcased the skills and potential that would soon catch the attention of NBA scouts. In the 2020 NBA Draft, he was picked 15th overall by the Orlando Magic—a major milestone in his career. Before all the spotlight, though, he was honing his game at Archbishop Molloy High School, where he began to build a reputation as a standout player. He comes from basketball royalty, being the son of former NBA guard Greg Anthony, which certainly gave him both inspiration and insight into the professional world of the sport. His journey—from high school phenom to one-and-done college star to an NBA draftee—has been nothing short of impressive. And now, as he continues to develop his game, he’s proving that his name belongs among the rising talents in the league.
He was ranked among the top 10 players in the high school class of 2019, which is no small feat. Additionally, he earned recognition as a co-MVP for the Class of 2019 by USA Today at the highly regarded Pangos All-America Camp held at Cerritos College in California.
