Everyone's writing off Cole Anthony like he's some washed-up veteran, but all it takes is a cursory check of the numbers from his first three years to prove otherwise.
Cole Anthony averaged 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 172 games in his first 3 seasons. Those aren't backup numbers. That's starting point guard production from a guy who's barely 24 years old and somehow available for the minimum.
And the truth many don't yet realize is that this isn't just some long-term project or minimum contract Hail Mary; it's a proven NBA scorer sitting at the end of Milwaukee's bench.
