Anwar Ferguson was Houston’s rim-protecting anchor in the early 2000s
In the 2003-04 season, center Anwar Ferguson gave Houston a classic paint presence: 7.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.1 blocks per game, a block rate that made him one of the nation’s most disruptive interior defenders. His value went beyond scoring; he was a physical, high-energy rim protector whose shot-blocking and rebounding translated into winning basketball. If your team needs a true defensive backbone at the five, Ferguson is the kind of old-school anchor who changes possessions, not just box scores.
