I can see him filling Manu's role off the bench in a few years. Play creator and clutch.
He strikes me as someone whos gonna be clutch
I could see a lineup like Danny Green - Beli/Leonard - Slowmo- Diaw/Duncan/Leonard - Splitter having insane defense and good offense
Solid 4/10 tbh
Umm...
I should start my "Can kyle anderson replace tony parker?" thread.
Wow, people can't wait until they see him actually play a regular season game before they start making threads like this? It wasn't long ago when De Culo was drafted and was being called the next Manu and looked how terrible he turned out to be.
Don't think anyone will ever fully replace Manu tbh. A player of his caliber coming off the bench is practically unheard of.
No, but if there was an "Anti-Manu," KA could easily replace that guy.
Manu is a unique player. Bill Simmons once said there will be 100 Dwayne Wades before there's another Manu.
I think those observations faded soon after Nando hit that pre-season game winner. Comparing a guy who fell to 30 to a guy who was picked 53rd and didn't play his first NBA game until two years later is a bit lame, tbh.
I thought Marco Belinelli was the manu replacement.... woops.
Manu is irreplaceable IMHO.
ONE OF A KIND
Nope, Anderson won't last more than two years on the Spurs roster. Dude is a scrub.
That's par for the course with #30 picks. At least he'll probably have a better career than that guy the Thunder drafted to be cheap. Just be glad you're not an OKC fan with two years left until the franchise implodes.
What does that even mean? I never liked BS or his opinion and now like him less. Manu rules but Wades bad ass too.
No comparing a guy who "fell" to 30 and hasn't proven a damn thing to a future HOF is a bit lame, tbh. Anderson hasn't proven anymore than de culo has, that's for sure and they're both slow-footed dude's who happen to be good passers. Of course I hope Anderson proves to be legit but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

It means Wade's skillset is nothing special, he's the prototypical shooting guard, just with a lot more talent than average. Manu's skillset is unique, nobody can replicate it.
No.
I can't even begin to think of a player than can replace Manu and the uniqueness he brings. To say that it is replaceable is insane.
here's a good video that has a lot of highlights from Manu when he was in his prime. I know OP is trolling, but I do think a big portion of ST tends to forget just how ing good he was. Those drives into the lane against the Pistons...............
We give TD a lot of credit for adjusting his body and game to the times, as he deserves. I don't think Manu gets enough credit for his adjustments though.
I don't think OP meant harm but no. I do hope that these are one of those threads that will get bumped a few years from now when KA does something special for the Spurs you know maybe the 7th championship or something.
Let's wait to see the guy play some actual NBA basketball before we start asking these questions, tbh.
Why the is this thread controversial? It's just a fact that someone will have to replace Manu in a couple of years. Tim and Tony as well. It's completely valid to wonder whether Anderson can fill Manu's role well enough for the Spurs' bench to remain elite.
Now, on topic, I don't know if Anderson can handle the speed of the pro game yet. I also am not sure if he can play the two effectively, and that's the position that would make the most sense for him to play from a lineup standpoint. Until he has more time under his belt, he can't be projected for anything meaningful.
and then James Harden appeared
I don't envision him as a 2, more a 3 but filling the same role as Manu just as a 3.
