Gigantes de Jalisco (CIBACOPA) agreed terms with 30-year old American point guard Jerime Anderson (187-89, college: UCLA, agency: Best of You Sports). He just played at Fuerza Regia in the LNBP. In 54 games he had 9.7ppg, 2.6rpg, 4.5apg and 1.1spg this season. Anderson helped them to make it to the final. Quite impressive season as he was named to Mexican LNPB All-Star Game. The last season he played at Mineros (also in LNBP) where in 38 games he recorded 8.6ppg, 2.2rpg, 5.8apg (top 5) and 1.3spg. Anderson contributed to his team ending the regular season as at the second position in LNBP North Division.
His team won Morocco Throne Cup in 2014.
Anderson is quite experienced player. His career allowed him to visit four different continents. Anderson tasted the life as pro basketball player in Europe, Latin America, Africa and of course North America. He has played previously professionally also in Belgium (Spirou Charleroi, Okapi Aalstar, Liege Basket and Limburg United), Slovenia (Krka) and Morocco (AS Sale).
Anderson attended University of California at Los Angeles until 2012 and it is his eighth season as a professional player.
On Anderson: "Lengthy and still growing, Anderson is a pure point guard with upside. He can score the ball off the dribble or the catch, but has a pass first mentality. Defensively, he is a tough 94-foot on the ball defender. His game should only improve as he gets stronger.Great-looking young point with exceptional feel and very good skill level. Shoots it to three-point range well and has nice mid-range game. Excellent decision-maker. True point who understands the game.".
