High School Basketball Dunk Of The Year Candidate
Words. Aron Phillips
You may have never heard of Dwaun Anderson before today. Don’t worry, neither had I. But the 6-3 junior guard from Suttons Bay (MI) High School is taking over the state of Michigan. Already with scholarship offers from Utah, Central Michigan and Oakland, Anderson has also drawn interest from Michigan State, Michigan and Dayton. And if you watch the video below, you can see why.
“He does things that northern Michigan hasn’t seen,” said Suttons Bay Todd Hursey in the Detroit Free Press. “He is a two-guard, but on our team he’s got to play inside. He wasn’t shooting too well early in the year. He’s hitting a lot of midrange shots – he can elevate and shoot it over anybody – but mainly he scores down low. He has the ability to get to the rim.”
That’s an understatement. Averaging 19 points for a well-balanced team, Anderson has guided Suttons Bay to victory ever game (16 and counting) since losing opening night. Last night, he had 26 points (20 in the first half), six rebounds and four steals, surpassing the 1,000 career point mark in the process, as Suttons Bay clinched the Northwest Conference basketball title outright for the second year in a row.
“On a lot of teams, Dwaun could average over 30 points a game, but he’s sacrificed his own deal to make the team better,” said Hursey. “He’s a real unselfish kid. The kids were talking the other day that Dwaun just doesn’t act like a star. He’s a real humble kid, so we’re real proud of that.”
