He not "unathletic", the game has slowed down for him. He see's the whole floor. He is deliberate.

"I think the game of basketball is played within three dribbles," Anderson said in May (per O'Donnell). "If by that third dribble I don't have anything, I like to give up the ball."
Paging Enrique...
The sportscasters are all saying that Anderson was the steal of the draft.
With Anderson on board, I think it makes sense for the Spurs to move Diaw to the starting lineup.
Starters
TP, Green, Leonard, Diaw, Duncan
2nd Unit
Mills, Ginoboli, Marco, Anderson, Tiago
You have facilitators, shooters, and a rim protector on each team now.
Spurs could've drafted a 70 year old man and they would've said it was the steal of the draft
Splitter will still start. With him and Duncan together, the Spurs have had the 3rd best Def PER the last two season. But yes, against small ball teams, the Spurs can now easily move Splitter to the bench and still have that point forward on the court at all times to counter.
That chart can't be correct. Jkid just told me Kyle can't get to the rim. Don't be confusing me with facts. What I want to know, is can the kid DUNK?!
When watching him I get that, too. He just seems CALM. Not sure what will become of him, but I love his poise and energy.
Daye 216
Anderson 230
But, Daye 1-2 inches taller. So, only 14 lbs, but please continue.
I just watched that Spurs finals mini movie for the first time...enjoyed that out of that.
Nancy Lieberman loves Anderson and said he is perfect for Spurs. She thought OKC really ed up passing on him. Also Bobby Hurley was his high school coach so it's no wonder he is best passer in draft
Nice article on him...

Love this quote...

That sounds like a line ripped straight out of Popovich's isolation-averse philosophy.
Pop is going to love this kid. His personality is just perfect here.
Thanks. Yeah, I saw that. I was being facetious. Dunking is nice, but one of the least of my interests. But, doesn't hurt to show it again. I wonder if it hurts more to have the ball thrown down your throat fast, or in Slowmo.
In two or three years those empty corner3-spots will explode!
Yeah, it's going to be Atari Missile Command all over those corners!
This guy is the perfect fit. Spurs fans should be ecstatic. This guy can one day play all 5 positions if need be. He talks like a Spur and plays like one. Cant wait for next season.
if Chip can speed up the timing on his 3-ball he could see 15 mpg as a rookie
I'm an Oregon fan, I just watched this kid in person in the student section at Oregon this last year, and the entire time I just thought "Boy I'd love for him to be in Sa playing backup SF." This kid is a PERFECT fit for SA! He's humble, a team player, quiet, doesn't like the limelight, and is an excellent shooter and passer! Also, he is a great rebounder and defender. This kid is by FAR the biggest steal in the draft and you better believe he will contribute this year and help the team reach championship #6! I strongly believe he will be the 10th player on the team in terms of minutes, while he'll still be a valuable addition, he is Kawhi's backup, and Kawhi will probably have the most minutes of anyone on the team this year. So while he is still very valuable, he is behind Kawhi so his minutes will be limited. Anderson and Diaw are going to have a lot of fun together in the second lineup this year.
Good take but it's time to change your avatar!
Seconded.
