a steady New Haven guard who brings defense, pace, and playmaking
In the 2025-26 season, Vere Anthony has been a low-usage but useful New Haven guard, averaging 2.6 points, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals, and 13.6 minutes per game while shooting 37.0% from the field and 61.5% at the line. He fits as a hustle-first connector: the steal rate and assist-to-turnover balance suggest active hands, decent decision-making, and enough perimeter feel to help a team’s ball pressure and tempo. For a roster needing energy, defensive disruption, and a willing role player, he’s a sensible fit; for shot creation, he’s not that guy—yet.
