What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“We look at a player that simply possesses a natural feel and understanding as a scorer, Demar Anderson. He’s a strong, tough, smart wing prospect with the ability to assert himself from all three levels while being an effective defender and two-way rebounder. Anderson can create for himself with relative ease and mixes it up quite regularly with the ball in his hands.” – NC Top 80 Evaluation
“Even with a lineup full of Division I prospects, Anderson shines with his two-way ability. He’s a reliable all-around scorer with IQ, size, skill, strength, and athleticism. Anderson can dictate the offensive action with relative ease, setting up others while seizing any easy scoring opportunities available. He displays quality defensive instincts, rebounds the ball well for his position, and makes great decisions in transition. Anderson already clearly has the makings of a scholarship-level player, and would make an excellent asset at a wide variety of programs in the collegiate game.” – Jeff Bendel
“Defensive perspective, he is an absolute beast. Was impressed with his defensive capability and he is a hard worker. Anderson also has a high basketball IQ but also is a quiet leader; does all the little things that coaches love, whether it is scoring or defending. He improved on his three-point shooting and once fully back, he should pick up right where he left off at.” – Victory Christian HC Marcus Dilligard
