STILLWATER — A year ago, Oklahoma State guard Avery Anderson III didn’t feel right as he shot the basketball.
His hands were too high. His confidence wavered.
In high school, he was a scoring machine. He could hit shots all over the court. He could get to the basket.
But college wasn’t as easy.
“That transition was weird for me,” Anderson said.
A year can make all the difference for a young college basketball player. Anderson spent the COVID-19 shutdown working at home in Justin, Texas, with his father and a friend’s father.
More than six months later, Anderson is comfortable.
