Selected by the New Jersey Nets with the second pick in the 1991 NBA Draft out of Georgia Tech, he was the youngest player in the league, at that time. He failed to make an expected impact during his rookie campaign in 1991-92, averaging only seven points, two rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. However, in his second season he broke out, more than doubling his points, rebounds and assists averages. He played solidly for the next 3½ seasons before being traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 1996.

In 1998, Portland traded him to the Toronto Raptors for Damon Stoudamire, but he refused to report to the Raptors because he did not want to play in Canada. Without playing a single game for them, Anderson forced the Raptors' hand and they traded him to the Celtics for Chauncey Billups.

He has experienced off-court problems aswell. As a result of a divorce from his ex-wife (due to infidelity), she successfully acquired a sizeable portion of his assets. She had a license plate custom-made to mark her victory with the phrase HISCASH.
