Anthony Slater brings steady guard play and veteran poise to FAU
In the 2001-02 season at Florida Atlantic, Anthony Slater averaged 3.2 points, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game, with his best value coming from playmaking, ball pressure and a workmanlike 18.7 minutes a night. The profile that stands out is the combo of distribution and disruption: he handed out 106 assists while adding 49 steals, showing he could both organize offense and irritate opposing ball-handlers. At 5-9 and 155 pounds, he was a compact, scrappy guard who fit as a tempo-setter and defensive pest rather than a volume scorer.
