Anthony Avery brings veteran Western Michigan frontcourt toughness and board work
Anthony Avery is a versatile Western Michigan forward who has historically shown solid rebounding instincts, physicality, and efficient finishing touch inside. In the 2015-16 season, he averaged 7.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game while shooting .491 from the field, a profile that fits a role player who does the dirty work and doesn’t need plays run for him. His value is in toughness, positional size, and steady effort — the kind of forward coaches usually love for energy, defense, and glue-guy minutes.
