CJ Anthony is Iona’s engine: a high-minute, high-assist guard making winning plays
In the 2025-26 season, CJ Anthony has emerged as Iona’s primary creator, leading the Gaels in scoring, assists and steals while ranking near the top of the MAAC in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. [17] He averaged 14.3 points, 5.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game on 43.8% shooting, with a strong mix of pace control, shot creation and disruptive on-ball defense. [3][8] The standout differentiator is his well-rounded impact: he can run an offense, pressure the ball and supply steady veteran production, which makes him a strong fit for teams needing a reliable lead guard rather than just a scorer.
