“Cole is the best high school point guard that I have seen since Mike Bibby. Cole can do much more than score—the games against us he nearly had a quadruple-double. He is almost impossible to stop, not just because of his athleticism, but because his basketball IQ is off the charts.”
Yerrick Stoneman
Head Coach - Head coach of Ridge View High in South Carolina

Athletic Excellence


The 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior guard had led the Warriors to a 32-4 record and a berth in next month’s GEICO Nationals at the time of his selection. Anthony averaged 19.0 points, 10.5 assists 10.1 rebounds, 3.4 steals and 1.8 blocks through 36 games and is the first player in the history of the Oak Hill program to average a triple-double. A McDonald’s All-American Game selection, he will also participate in the 2019 Nike Hoop Summit in Oregon next month.

Academic Achievement


Anthony has maintained a B average in the classroom. He remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.

Exemplary Character


The son of former NBA player Greg Anthony, he has volunteered locally as an elementary school mentor and as a youth basketball coach.
