Cole Anthony, Justin Pierce Among ESPN College Basketball's Top Newcomer Rankings
Posted Oct 22, 2019
North Carolina's new point guard, Cole Anthony, is a polished prospect with the pedigree (his father, Greg Anthony, won a national title at UNLV in 1990 before his lengthy pro career) of a future NBA player. Justin Pierce, a grad transfer from William & Mary, is a 6-7 playmaker who averaged 14.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG and 4.1 APG last season at William & Mary.
