College career
editAnderson was a member of the UCLA Bruins for four years. Along with Jrue Holiday, Malcolm Lee, Drew Gordon, and J'Mison Morgan, he was part of a UCLA recruiting class that was considered No. 1 in the nation.[1] As a freshman in 2008–09, Anderson was a backup to point guard Darren Collison.[2] He was named the starter the following season, but lost his job after he was suspended for being late to a rehab session in January 2010.[3] After Anderson's struggles the previous season, the Bruins recruited junior college transfer Lazeric Jones to compete at point guard.[4] Jones was named the starter for 2010–11, and Anderson became his backup.[2]
Anderson was arrested in July 2011 for stealing a laptop left unattended on a campus bench, and was convicted to 300 hours of community service.[5] In response, UCLA suspended him for the first two games of 2011–12.[6]
Professional career
editIn 2012, he entered the NBA draft. After he went undrafted, he signed with Verviers-Pepinster for the 2012–13 season.[7] In March 2013, he left Pepinster and signed with Slovenian club Krka Novo Mesto for the rest of the 2012–13 1. SKL season.[8]
In July 2014, he signed with Liège Basket for the 2014–15 season.[9] For the next season he moved to Okapi Aalstar.[10] On September 18, 2016, he signed with Limburg United for the 2016–17 season.[11]
