Alan Anderson was a do-it-all, two-way glue guy for Michigan State
In the 2004-05 season, Alan Anderson averaged 13.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals for Michigan State, finishing as a reliable senior leader on a Final Four team. He stood out as a versatile 6-6 G/F who could handle the ball, defend multiple spots, rebound like a forward, and punish defenses with efficient shooting. The non-stat bonus: he was widely viewed as one of MSU’s most versatile players and a steady, high-intensity competitor — the kind of rugged, team-first wing every coach loves to have in the foxhole.
