Antonio Anderson...... I don't know much about him but I saw him play once this past season against Southern Miss and I like things about his game. he seem to be a willing defender and able to hit the long ball. Is the a correct assesment of his game. I would like to Hawks to invite him to training camp. is this a guy who could defend the SG and the SF?

He's capable at almost all facets of the game, but he doesn't do any one thing exceptionally well. If he has a chance to make it in the NBA, he'll do it with his perimeter defense IMO - but even then I think he'll have to fall into the right situation that will give him the opportunity to shine. I'm fairly confident he can guard SGs, but I think he might have trouble against bigger SFs (he's 6'6).

A random fact for you: IIRC other than Penny Hardaway, he's the only Tiger to have a triple-double.
