WALTHAM, Mass. – The Virginia Cavaliers allowed a nation-low 51.5 points per game this past season. For a program that prides itself on defensive prowess, that number was a result of an outstanding collective team effort. But it was also reflective on the play of their defensive leader: small forward Justin Anderson.

His staunch defense earned him notice in the NCAA. It’s why he will be selected in this year’s NBA Draft, and it’s one of the reasons why the Boston Celtics invited him to a Draft workout Monday morning.
