Anderson - 'Who wouldn't want to stay in San Antonio?'


LAS VEGAS - Most Spurs fans know James Anderson's story by now. He's a former Big 12 Player of the Year drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, was injured during draft workouts so he missed Summer League.

Anderson started the 2010-2011 season showing promise until he went down with a stress fracture in his foot after six games. He wasn't the same when he came back two months later and never got back into the Spurs' rotation, in part thanks the emergence of Gary Neal. The NBA Lockout ruined Anderson's chance to improve from season one to season two within the Spurs' system.

When the lockout was lifted Anderson apparently looked great in the Spurs truncated training camp and entered the season as their sixth man.

I hope it does work out for him. I'm doubtful though.

Hes just not that impressive...

I wonder if its a mental thing, or if the talent is just not there anymore. Some players just hit their peak in college.

I really do think it all goes back to the broken foot. That specific injury is a career-ender for a lot of players. Even young players have seen their careers collapse after that injury. Travis Outlaw, Martell Webster, Roddy Buckets, etc.

For whatever reason, if you break that bone in your foot, you're usually toast. And JA has broken that same bone in each foot. So, unfortunately, he's probably toast.

Nah man, I don't think you were wrong. He looked really good for bit there, but he either lost a step because of his foot (as TIMVP pointed out) or he lost his confidence because of it. Either way, it sucks that he flashed so much potential and it has not materialized.

I feel bad for Anderson because he seems like a good kid. He just doesn't look like the same player before that unfortunate injury.
