I’ll openly admit it: Yeah, I have a soft spot for feel-good tales in the NBA. Players that have faced their fair share of turmoil but have never quit in the face of adversity, I root for them. It’s why David Nwaba became an instant favorite of mine, and it’s why Joe Harris is my favorite player in the league. Individuals that didn’t necessarily have conventional paths to the NBA, but scratched and crawled their way into rotations and playing time.
Which brings us to the Brooklyn Nets‘ recent signing—Justin Anderson.
The former first-round draft pick (which admittedly, pretty conventional) in 2015 is currently on a 10-day contract with the Nets, after the announcement of David Nwaba’s waiving.
