UVA junior Justin Anderson was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 21st pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.
Anderson, a 6’6” guard, was an early entrant into the NBA Draft after finishing his third year at Virginia in 2015.
Anderson averaged 12.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 2014-2015, shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 45.2 percent from three-point range for the Cavs.
The 2014 ACC Sixth Man of the Year, Anderson moved into a starting role for coach Tony Bennett in his junior season, before going down with a broken finger on his left hand in a Feb. 7 win over Louisville.
Anderson also missed time after undergoing an emergency appendectomy before returning for the 2015 postseason.
Dallas is coached by 1984 UVA alum Rick Carlisle.
