About Anton
Expert Analysis
Van Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Strong power interior big that affects the game on the glass, blocking shots, and defending in the paint. He has long arms and nice crafty and deceptive moves in close quarters. His energy level is tough for opposing players to match so he usually wins the matchup in the paint. His offensive game continues to improve every time I see him play. Offensively can finish around the rim. Step out and knock down the 15–17-foot jumper or scores over either shoulder when he gets the ball in the paint. Willing offensive rebounder and the ability to grab and go on the defensive boards is noticeable. Anton possesses soft hands and has a good understanding of how to play the interior game. Anton is no doubt one of the TOP BIGS in the District of Columbia regardless of class. Anton plays for Digital Pioneers Academy.

Anton is another young and crucial piece to the Roosevelt roster. He spent last season totaling up double-doubles with points and rebounds. Protects the basket well for the team when drivers enter the lane, and he holds his own against other bigs in the lane. Anton has got some shooting touch and can step outside to knock down shots from range and in the midrange. Does a good job of ending team’s possessions with big rebounds through traffic, keeping control of the ball with great hands. Big weekend here coming up for the underrated forward putting in work against DC’s publics.

-Loved the blend of skills from the big dog, showing himself to be a versatile threat in DHOs at the top of the key to either create a look for others or step into perimeter jumpers himself. The lefty has good hands for this stage in development, snagging 1-handed rebounds and finishing with good touch around the rim. The footwork belies his size, as he can slide on the perimeter to show on ball screens or pivot in the paint for better finishing angles at the offensive end of the floor.
