Spurs Select Kyle Anderson in the 2014 NBA Draft (30th Overall)

[Mr. Body]

I love this. Thought he'd be picked well before. The Spurs must have been surprised to see him drop.

[dbestpro]

Except you passed on the most athletic wing in the draft.

Alfre Hughes was considered extremely athletic.

[ceperez]

Is Austin Daye the same kind of player?

[Chinook]

The happiest Spur should be Mills right now. Anderson gives hope for the bench post-Manu. The idea of Patty as the back-up PG in a few years no longer seems scary.

[Assman]

Makes me wonder how you guys don't have jobs as NBA GMs with your unrivaled ability to scout talent at the college level. Maybe RC should just post a poll on here for the next pick.

Who

Love tha the kid is a high BBIQ type player. Best passer in the draft, and has size who is a good defender!

Jabari Young ‏@jabari_young Kyle Anderson just spoke to SA media...said the 1 player he's most looking to learn from on the #Spurs is Tim Duncan

[Mr. Body]

Well my response was to you.

Well, I was responding to someone comparing him to Deshaun Thomas, so you're not really germane. But thanks.

[jag]

I like the kid, but lets not pretend like we have any idea how he's going to workout for the Spurs. He's #30. I'll say this though, picking Anderson beats the out of another draft n' stash.

[Malik Hairston]

over-analyzing the 30th pick in the draft for the reigning NBA champions, a player that probably won't even play in the playoffs..

If Hoops Czar and tholdren don't like him, then he's probably going to be a solid player one day, those 2 s are wrong about everything, tbh..

[xmas1997]

He is compared to Magic Johnson, Manu, and Boris with a super high basketball IQ, a forward who has played point guard most of his life. They don't call him Slo Mo for nothing, says he sees basketball as a three step game, if he doesn't see anything by the second step he is passing the ball to someone who is open for a shot.

[T Park]

It takes him half the shot clock to get his drive going. I'll always take a raw athlete over slow and unathletic.

Yeah those guys win out 100% of the time over smart heady players.

Like Pops Mensah Bonsu was wayyyyyy better than Robert Horry.

[Trill Clinton]

I would have taken Early or Robinson before Anderson.

character issues. no thanks

[45 bank shot]

Kyle Anderson is a quarter Chinese per wikipedia. Yet another Asian American player. Nice

[look_at_g_shred]

Where can I get my jersey tbh

[100%duncan]

They say he is the best passer in the draft. Can shoot the 3. Defense can be taught especially with his size.

I was thinking the same thing, tbh

Looks like the Stephen Curry of SF...

[HI-FI]

i literally know nothing about this kid but will hate him just to keep up ST tradition.

[pad300]

Not fast enough to play small (1 or 2) in the NBA. Maybe 3, but will still have athletic problems. If he adds muscle, could be a very good and versatile PF. Able to do it ALL...

Bonner started against OKC, of course this kid is gonna play in the POs... Easily the best end of the first round pick in years...

[100%duncan]

We just destroyed the ing Heat with the least athletic team in the NBA. Chill the out. Dude is a high IQ passer and is still relatively young. He can be molded into a very solid player imo. Maybe not an all star but the Spurs don't need him to be. ing people acting like we blew a lottery pick. It's the 30th ing pick. Chill.

Good post. Maybe alot of posters expected Jabari to still be in the draft at the 30th pick.
