Anthony only played one season for the Orange, but was nevertheless set up in winning the first and only national championship of the school in basketball in 2003.
That summer Anthony was set up in third place by the Denver Nuggets in the NBA design after he had been taken over by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who took James, and the Detroit Pistons, who chose the notorious Darko Milicic disappointment.
