Knicks reportedly have “scouted extensively” Cole Anthony

Anthony averaged 18.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game for North Carolina last season.

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the New York Knicks have scouted extensively North Carolina’s Cole Anthony for the upcoming NBA Draft.

Anthony, the son of former Knick guard Greg Anthony, averaged 18.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game for North Carolina last season. He suffered a partially torn meniscus in December and missed 11 games following surgery before returning in February.

Anthony, a New York native, is projected as a potential Lottery Pick and has already expressed, in past weeks, that “it would be pretty cool” to get drafted by the team.
