Felt In His First Season Of Action At UVa

BY WHITELAW REID
IRGINIA HEAD COACH Tony Bennett praises his attitude. Assistant
coach Ritchie McKay uses the word
"lovely" to describe his own experiences with him. Second-year forward Justin Anderson says he's somebody who
he wants to be like. Fifth-year senior forward Akil
Mitchell calls him a brother.
Yes, Anthony Gill has fit in just fine, thank
you, since joining the UVa program as a transfer
from South Carolina. The redshirt second-year
forward's production on the court has been pretty
good, too.
Through UVa's first 17 games this season, Gill
was fourth on the team in scoring (7.8 points
per game) and fifth in rebounding (3.6 rebounds
per contest). Gill was far and away the highestpercentage shooter on the team, converting an
impressive 61.5 percent from the field. Virginia's
next-best shooter was fourth-year guard Joe Harris at 48.1 percent.
Gill has provided the Cavaliers with an efficient low-post scorer, shooting a team-best 61.5 percent
from the field through 17 contests.
