Jay Bilas: Cole Anthony is a freak

Posted Dec 4, 2019
ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas was effusive in his praise of UNC freshman Cole Anthony ahead of the Tar Heels’ showdown with Ohio State. “He’s a freak,” Bilas said. “Cole Anthony is a great talent as a point guard, averaging close to 21 points a game and a good passer, a terrific guard rebounder. Really, really an impressive young man.” (Inside Carolina)
