“Everyone can do something,” he said. “If people don’t show kids the value of helping, they won’t learn it. Both of our parents made it a priority to encourage us to do good deeds.”

Anderson said he hadn’t finalized the instructional staff for his two-day camp, but said it would include “a lot of people from this area that I looked up to” as well as some surprise guests.

It figures to be a busy summer for Anderson, even if the Mavericks’ season ended with a first-round playoff loss to Oklahoma City. He’s scheduled to be a guest at his cousin Jermon Bushrod’s “Visualize and Rize” football camp and benefit golf tournament the week before his own camp, and he’ll play for the Mavericks’ summer league team in July.

His rookie season consisted of a lot of watching and learning early, but his role increased with time. He sat out 27 regular-season games and averaged a modest 3.8 points in 11.8 minutes per game, but boosted that to 9.4 points and 19 minutes in five games against the Thunder.

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is notoriously loathe to trust rookies, even if he and Anderson both played at the University of Virginia. But injuries to teammates gave Anderson an opening, and he gained Carlisle’s confidence, scoring in double figures in Dallas’ final three playoff games.
