POTENTIAL
INTRODUCTION
Quincy Anderson was Tyrese Haliburton’s high-school teammate who together won the State title. Began his NCAA career in Division-II with Minnesota State, being named to the first team of the Northern Sun Conference. After transferring to the Racers, he played as the sixth man last season, and in his graduate year, he became a starter and the leading scorer with a good chance of being selected for one of the top OVC teams
PHYSICAL
Quincy Anderson has a well sculpted, solid body capable of absorbing physical contact when approaching the rim or when knocking on the screens while in a defensive phase. A decent athlete, he doesn’t have elite jumping ability but runs the court well and has good mobility. Dynamic and with good reactivity, he may have some ups and downs in terms of energy during a match
OFFENSIVE PHASE
Quincy Anderson is a strong swingman capable of scoring on three levels. His three-point shooting (39.9% on 4.6 attempts) in spot-up or catch and shoot situations coming off screens is very reliable, but less effective off the dribble. In 1v1 situations, he has decent handling skills that allow him to create space for a mid-range shot. He can aggressively drive to the basket and is fairly predictable in favoring his left side (strong hand), but he is solid and absorbs contact from opposing big men. He doesn’t have a lot of playmaking abilities to help his teammates with decisive passes (1.1 assist per game this season). Overall, he is a fairly complete scoring player with good shot selection (46% from the field in his college career)
DEFENSIVE PHASE
Quincy Anderson has all the tools to be versatile and capable of defending against multiple types of opponents. The combination of physicality and mobility could allow him to be a significant factor, but he lacks discipline in rotations and may have energy deficiencies. He is reactive, managing to recover some 50-50 possessions (1 steal per match) and grab rebounds (4.4 per game) that he can take coast to coast. He does not anticipate passing lanes and sometimes is passive in the post against stronger opponents
IMPROVED AREAS
Quincy Anderson arrived at the Racers as a replacement for Tevin Brown, confirming his good sharpshooting skills but showing room for growth in playmaking and the ability to involve teammates. He will need to show more concentration on the defensive phase to make a solid impact in his own half. Overall, he is a mature player with limited upside but reliable, and he can immediately have a good impact at a medium level in some European leagues
