The Richmond standout was the seventh-leading scorer in the Atlantic 10 at 15.9 points per game. The guard also shot 38.7 percent from the field to aid Richmond to a 19-win season. Anthony wants to get to postseason play as the Spiders did not take part in a tournament last year.

Wright, a forward who shot 57.6 percent from the floor a year ago, averaged 25.4 minutes and 13.3 points per game as LaSalle had a disappointing season. The former basketball power put together a 15-16 record, and Wright hopes for better fortunes this year.
