The Orlando Magic selected North Carolina guard Cole Anthony guard with their first-round pick (15th overall) during the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday night.
Anthony, the son of former NBA player Greg Anthony, has been described as a competitive and hard-nosed defender, as well as a score-first point guard who can create space off the dribble.
Anthony averaged 18.5 points and 4.0 assists per game during a record-setting freshman season at North Carolina. He poured in 34 points to set ACC freshman and North Carolina all-time debut records for scoring. He also was the first North Carolina freshman to post back-to-back 20-point, 10-rebound games.
