Summary:
Anthony Polite is an athletic, energetic swingman that could project into a 3 and D role in the NBA.  He is had a solid junior season, and he scored 22 points and he made 4 three-pointers in his team’s second round win over Colorado in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.  On the other hand, he had an up and down senior season, and he didn’t shoot the ball nearly as well as hoped this year. Currently, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate in the 2022 draft.
