Ryan Christian Anderson (born December 19, 1987) is an American professional basketball player for the London Lightning of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL). He played college basketball for Nebraska.
High school career
Anderson attended Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, Washington. When Anderson was a freshman, his team was ranked No. 1 in the state and, with the help of Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson, they won the title. In Anderson's sophomore year, Rainier Beach finished as the state's runners-up and as a junior, he garnered all-conference and all-city accolades. In his final high school season, he averaged 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, leading his team to a fourth-place finish at states with a 23-7 record. Anderson also played Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball for the Friends of Hoop in the summer of 2005, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. The team reached the semifinals of the Nike Peach Jam and, later in the summer, won the title of the Main Event. The win gave them a ticket to participate in the Prep Showcase championship, at which Anderson defeated future NBA MVP Kevin Durant to win the Three-Point Contest.[1]
