Pick Analysis. North Carolina. 7. player. 64. Scouting Report. 6-foot-3 | G. Cole Anthony

It’s not a secret that Cole Anthony had a bad season at North Carolina. The lack of spacing killed his creation, and the general lack of talent around him made things even more difficult. The 20-year old still has the ability to score the ball the spacing at the next level should allow him to get inside as teams should still have to respect his outside shot. He’s also a capable rebounder and his strength should make him a capable defender eventually. Detroit should take a stab on his potential at this point in the draft.
