Derek Anderson - After initially going quiet in retirement, Anderson has made numerous waves in the last two years. Most of it is good - he's released a book, which is being made into a film, and released a brand of bottled water. Last month, he was seen campaigning for anti-smoking legislation to be passed in Kentucky, and returned once again to his alma mater to dispense sage wisdom about ACL tears to injured Wildcats star, Nerlens Noel. But it's not all good - in the summer of 2011, Anderson was named by a convicted felon named Francois Cunningham as being the money man in a sophisticated cocaine ring. No charges are known to have been brought, however.

Anderson's last basketball employment was with the Bobcats back in 2007. He has not signed anywhere since, and nor has he been linked to anyone. Anderson recently signed up to join a program at the University of Kentucky that helps former players complete their degrees, as has Ron Mercer.
