College: Georgia Tech
Signed: 2005/06

Quite simply one of the best players to ever wear a Riders uniform, 6'7 Anthony McHenry could play any position from 1-5, he could pass, rebound, block, dunk, steal, run the floor and lock down any opposing teams danger men. A coach's dream who provided Riders fans with some great moments during the 05-06 season, my own favourite was the double block on Sheffield's Eddie Cage at the John Sandford which had the crowd on its feet and an embarrassed Cage on his way to the bench......!

An 2004 NCAA finalist with Georgia Tech, Anthony was also crowned Riders Player of the Season edging out Ryan Huntley to take the trophy, a just reward for his efforts in his rookie pro season.

It was a pleasure to watch Ant in action and maybe one day he too may get to the NBA where some of his former Tech team mates have made the grade?
