In 1991 Kenny was a
Unanimous All-American first team selection in only his second year at
Georgia Tech. He left school after his sophomore year via the number two
pick in the draft by New Jersey, but didn't do well under Bill Fitch
during his rookie season. He was flagrantly fouled by John Starks of
the Knicks in February of the 1993 season which caused him to take a step
back in his development into a star, losing the rest of his second
season to injury. In 1993-94 he played all 82 games for the Nets
in a break-out season. He was the highest scoring PG in the league
that year. Kenny was named an all-star in 1994, starting for the eastern
squad, in his only appearance. In 1994-95 Kenny finished the season
second in the league in assists with 9.4 per game. He did alright in NJ,
but began to develop a reputation as a difficult player so everyone
thought it best to try some new scenery in Charlotte, coming to the
Hornets with Gerald Glass for Kendall Gill and Khalid Reeves in a trade on
February 19, 1996. He played out the season as a Hornet, then became a
free agent, looking for the big contract as one of the top PGs available
and finally signed with Portland for 50 million over 7 years.
On February
13, 1998, Kenny was sent to Toronto along with Gary Trent, rookie Alvin
Williams and 2 draft picks for Damon Stoudamire, Walt Williams and Carlos
Rogers. It is rumored that Portland will continue to pay Kenny's
salary. Kenny said he wouldn't play north of the border, and sure
enough, he never showed up in Toronto, so on February 18th he was
sent to Boston along with Zan Tabak and Popeye Jones for rookie standout
Chauncey Billups, John Thomas, Dee Brown and Roy Rogers.He can both
shoot the jumper and find the open man. He is a dangerous penetrator that
can work the open court, but has not settled into being a consistent
dangerous threat from deep. His passing skills made him one of the east's
best point guards. On July 20, 2002 Boston traded Kenny Anderson,
Vitaly Potapenko, and Joseph Forte to
Seattle for Vin Baker and Shammond Williams. On February 20, 2002 Seattle traded
Kenny Anderson to New Orleans for Elden Campbell. Indiana signed Kenny to a free agent contract prior to the 2003-2004 season. Atlanta signed Kenny for the 2004-2005 season.
