Waiting was the hardest part for Trevor Anderson, who redshirted 2017-18 after transferring from Green Bay, then suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2018-19 after appearing in the first eight games for Wisconsin. Anderson began returning to form in 2019-20, appearing in all 31 games for the Badgers averaging 12.2 minutes off the bench as a key reserve. He started 20 games as a freshman at UW-Green Bay in 2016-17, averaging 9.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. The former Stevens Point Area High School standout was one of the state’s most prolific prep players, scoring 2,360 points, the eighth-most in Wisconsin high school basketball history. He finished with a 100-6 career record, helped lead SPASH to the WIAA Division I State Championship in back-to-back years (2015-16) and was named Wisconsin’s Mir. Basketball and Associated Press Player of the Year as a senior in 2016.
