    Ethan Anderson is the diamond in the rough that coaches dream about finding. A late-comer to the game of basketball -- he only started playing last year in prep school following a growth spurt in high school that left him standing 6'8". An accomplished tennis player in high school, he has the quickness and agility to contribute in the paint and he is quickly learning the intricacies of the game. He needs only time and repetitions to learn the college game.
