Cole Anthony's Heavy Burden

Posted Dec 9, 2019
Cole Anthony has become a volume scorer not out of selfishness, but rather out of necessity. UNC ranks 249th nationally in scoring offense (68.7) and 304th in field goal percentage (40.1). Tar Heels not named Cole Anthony have combined to shoot 24.3 percent from beyond the arc, which allows opponents to help defend the projected lottery pick. (Inside Carolina)
