The NBA offseason is here for the teams that failed to make the playoffs and that also means it’s a time where multiple former UNC basketball players return to Chapel Hill to workout in the summer months.
That’s the case for former North Carolina point guard [autotag]Cole Anthony[/autotag]. The current Orlando Magic guard just finished up his second season in the NBA.
The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 16.3 points per game this season in 65 games (65 starts). He averaged 31.7 minutes per game and shot 39.1 percent from the floor and 34 percent from three. He also added 5.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.

In his lone season at North Carolina (2019-20), he averaged 18.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.
Anthony took part in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest this season and was involved in the Rising Stars Game over the NBA All-Star weekend.
