THIS

Kyle Anderson should never ever be anything higher than the fifth or sixth best player on a team that actually wants to do something come playoff time. He’s made great strides but if he’s a player who is top 3-4 in your team then your team isn’t going anywhere.

Guy is injured. Let him get well, and Pop figure out how to fit him in with a fully healthy roster. I think Aldridge has missed him the most since he got a number of easy baskets each game fed by Kyle. But Aldridge and Kawhi have their own chemistry to figure out.

Team misses his rebounding, defense, passing, bbiq. He's make clutch plays often on defense in 4th Q, getting a steal or a block that stalls the other team's momentum, or recovering a 50/50 ball, something. They miss him. Whoever doesn't miss him is just trolling.. which is par for the course in this site. Most of his minutes have gone to Bryn Forbes, who has played well, but aside of his shooting, he doesn't do the other stuff Kyle is capable of.

Do you think they should move Gasol to the bench and try starting Kyle at PF?

I didn't ignore this question... it's just really hard to say.
Until Kawhi comes back for sure without injury restrictions, the lineups have really been very fluid and Pau, despite looking pretty bad in some games, can bounce back and help in other games.

I do tend to think Pop will adjust lineups according to game situation and he's been willing to cut Pau's minutes when the matchups aren't favorable to him.

Anyone of Rudy, Kyle or even Davis lately can take minutes for Pau if the Spurs need them to. So I think it's just going to depend on situation. But I don't see Pau getting "benched" unless it was patently clear to Pop that is what needs to happen. While the team is in this flux state with lineups changing all the time, I don't think he can make that determination.

he's more like a secondary playmaker (I can not believe he's prepared to take the team as the main playmaker), I think this limits a possible attempt to start him in point guard, though I like how he always makes the right move

I agree he's not ready to be the main playmaker on the team but he's very important because he gives the Spurs another option for play making when Manu and Tony are not on the floor. One thing I have noticed this year is that he's very good at getting hockey assists.

He can get to the lane at will and has the iq. He can be a 4th or 5th option on this team. Pop needs to tell him to drive and score or create contact when he's with the second unit.

If they can withstand Duncan's retirement, Leonard's missing substantial time and only having 2 traditional bigs in the rotation to remain an elite defensive and rebounding team, then I'm guessing they can withstand Anderson's being dropped from the rotation . . . and if by some chance they cant, its a sacrifice they need to make in an attempt to spruce up the offense.


Outside of the obvious, the next biggest reason for their offensive ineptitude is their inexplicable decline in 3-point percentage. Normally at or near the top, they've plummeted to 16th and simply can't afford another limited and reluctant range shooter in the rotation.

It's past time Bertans become a rotation fixture. He's 11th in total minutes, yet 6th in OWS, WS/48 and 3rd OBPM.

If the Spurs had managed to pull the victory out against Philly, as shorthanded as they were - the game ball would've been Kyle's or 50Mills'.

It's a shame Kyle Anderson still lacks assertiveness on the offensive end of the floor, because he is a remarkably crafty and efficient scorer.

Yes. I agree with you. He was hot in this game and I thought he could have afforded to shoot more, specially bc some of his TO were him being unselfish trying to lob the ball to Lamarcus.

It seems beyond dispute that Pop likes Kyle more than he did Simmons and trusts him more. Moreover, as you pointed out in your "C'mon, guys" post, Kyle has more leadership instinct. He is valued for his intangibles off-court as much as he is his skill on-court. PATFO see him as a bridge as much as Kawhi or 50Mills. He is a conduit of Spur culture, and I will be shocked if he is not retained.

That has nothing to do with what I said.

He'd be fine in an elite offense, that can get away with playing a perimeter player who can't break down the defense or shoot (although most would have forced him to become a willing 3-point shooter). This team is far too limited to be able to get away with that though. They need every bit of offense they can get.

I think I understand what you said.
The problem is not him.
The problem is many games where you get 4 points combined from Tony and Patty... or a similar number from Tony and Danny, etc.
As I said the guards are too limited. It's kinda puzzling the addition of Rudy Gay, although I see as them going for more versatility... but they were already quite good in their forwards and could have used 1 quality center (better than Joff) and a better guard than all the rooks/youngsters they have. There were guards out there like Tyreke Evans and others and they simply said nahhhhhh.
"We like what we have." Probably bc they aren't likely to move on or cut minutes for any of the current rotation guards unless it was for Kyrie (who they wanted to get) or CP3 or someone of that nature. I commend them for trying to go for stars bc they need star power, but it was basically star or bust.

I like Davis myself enough but he's not going to fix a bad guard rotation. That said, he has earned some playing time IMO.

Edit: Kyle hasn't been a negative offensively, more like a neutral factor and he brings so much to the game that he's almost always going to help you win games. He's not a complete negative offensively like Murray is. If you don't play Kyle at all and give all his minutes to Davis, I am not sure this team is any better, as they have very different skillsets and Kyle is a lot more versatile. If you don't bench Kyle for Davis I am not sure why you are even posting about Davis in Kyle's "church"

For the record my comment was an adder to my previous one... the one where I said, that I was placing the loss on the inexperience of the "newbies" and their high turnover rate... (which in previous posts I have named as Paul, Dejounte, Forbes, Bertans and Joffrey)

I think I understand what you said.
The problem is not him.
The problem is many games where you get 4 points combined from Tony and Patty... or a similar number from Tony and Danny, etc.
As I said the guards are too limited. It's kinda puzzling the addition of Rudy Gay, although I see as them going for more versatility... but they were already quite good in their forwards and could have used 1 quality center (better than Joff) and a better guard than all the rooks/youngsters they have. There were guards out there like Tyreke Evans and others and they simply said nahhhhhh.
"We like what we have." Probably bc they aren't likely to move on or cut minutes for any of the current rotation guards unless it was for Kyrie (who they wanted to get) or CP3 or someone of that nature. I commend them for trying to go for stars bc they need star power, but it was basically star or bust.

I like Davis myself enough but he's not going to fix a bad guard rotation. That said, he has earned some playing time IMO.

Edit: Kyle hasn't been a negative offensively, more like a neutral factor and he brings so much to the game that he's almost always going to help you win games. He's not a complete negative offensively like Murray is. If you don't play Kyle at all and give all his minutes to Davis, I am not sure this team is any better, as they have very different skillsets and Kyle is a lot more versatile. If you don't bench Kyle for Davis I am not sure why you are even posting about Davis in Kyle's "church"

The four rotation guards are entrenched though. The only clear rotation player who's still relatively unestablished and lacks pedigree, is Anderson. That makes him the only one to where it's at plausible that he could be usurped.

Anderson has been a slight negative offensively. Even if he were neutral, Bertans has been a clear plus. Again, they need every ounce of offense they can muster.

As I have said b4.. not sure he will remain a Spur myself. But some things:
1. the market is going to be very rough on RFA. He may not get as much as he thought same as JSimms.
2. Spurs already gave big long term deals to Patty and Pau. Unless they do some major overhaul trades and land some big shot FA.. (very unlikely, wake up and smell the coffee spurstalk), they will sign their best guys back bc they can't do anything else.
3. You could do worse, like say sign 38 year old Centers to big deals and 5'10 SG to 4 year deals at 29 years old. Kyle's 24 and his best years are ahead of him.
4. Even with all this ^ he shouldn't be taken for granted to come back. Enjoy Joff Lauvergne if he doesn't come back though. :lol

IMO, that really depends on what that contract is. He continues to develop every year, the stats say he keeps doing better (career annual WP/48 : .095, .156, .250, .305 (this year to date), annual WS/48 : .044, .133, .127, .154 (this year to date), VORP -0.1, 1.2, 0.9 , 1.8 (TYTD), BPM -2.7,1.8,1.6,3.6 (TYTD)). IF we can resign him for cheap (MLE?), which should be possible as he's not a big name fancy scorer, I would do it. Especially because he keeps having these games where he shows scoring ability - he just needs to be willing to take more on the court - especially more 3's - he is shooting .400 from 3...

Danny is a starter and that was a good deal when it was given. Danny having had down seasons offensively and being 30, who knows maybe he's not worth as much as he used to... I don't know, but at the time he was signed he was in his mid twenties he was on a good deal.

I agree.

Despite my fandoming, I am not related to him and this is purely a hypothetical discussion. He has taken a few 3s with the toe on the line too... and made those shots. He can shoot well enough but has a slow shot and needs to be fairly open. This offense isn't generating that many quite open shots.

And now that he's playing with Dejounte, the past few games b4 this one there were games he was taking between 1-4 3s... this game he was a playmaker for himself or others and that is where he's at his best but I have always said he needs to shoot a little bit more. He's never going to be sniping like Patty and Davis, that is not his game... but a few wide open shots? yea he can make those shots.

Kind of reminds me of Bruce Bowen actually. Not sure how much of a role there is for a player like that in today's NBA.

He's 2nd on the team in TS% (0.582) behind Bertans (0.589). He just doesn't take bad shots unless the shot clock is winding down. A lot of times he doesn't take good shots either :lol

I think Danny is properly paid. He’s been a solid player, and if anything probably a little underrated for his defense alone.

No, not advocating TP get paid. I AM in the sell “high” on Kyle camp though. His value probably won’t be higher than it is right now. It’s unlikely that he’ll be viewed as an asset (other than trade filler) at 7-8m/year starting next year.

I disagree... He's not a star but he has gotten better each season and I don't think he has hit the apex of his career at 24.

I don't think he's essential to a team with a healthy Kawhi but he's a good player and worth retaining. Spurs are better with him on the court than him out of it and that cannot be said of many roleplayers this season in this team. That said, the summer is going to be unpredictable. The Spurs have been letting their younger talent go elsewhere and Kyle may be no different.

He is more aggressive scoring at the basket than previously. It may surprise bc he has always been criticized as a reluctant shooter but ppl almost forget he wasn't trying to get to the basket before either, which made him almost a non-entity at times... he wasn't an active cutter or wasn't that aggressive trying to score close to the rim.

It is something he worked on per the interviews I saw. not just his dribble and technique, but dealing with the contact while keeping his balance. He worked really hard at that.

he worked on defense a lot too. Per the Jabari interview, a lot of his focus was on his defensive techniques. He did specific exercises to improve hand coordination and reflexes (helps with steals and blocks) as well as playing long minutes on a defensive/crouched stance and sliding his feet. He wouldn't be able to defend on the perimeter without that for long stretches since he's obviously not an athletic guy.

He also improved his strength, while trying to keep within a weight that allowed him to play in the perimeter, enough to defend bigger guys and not get pushed aroundn if he's posted up close to the paint.

Think like any young player, the opportunity to play does wonders for confidence and he needed to be pushed and challenged. Mentally he took that challenge too, and he said that how he ended the postseason last year helped him to continue this year at the level mentally that he had been playing.

Also, not that he didn't work hard other summers, but he said prior summers the summer league engagement etc took time from his schedule and freedom for him to work individually in areas that he wanted to improve.

He said he always works on shooting. Taking those shots is another matter or improving quickness on his shot.

All of the injuries and lack of bench strength on this year's squad have forced KA to do more than I think would be expected of him under normal circumstances.

damn, he does not play well with Murray and Manu, shouldn't be difficult to keep them separate though

weird that he plays so well with TP who's also a ballhandler

Think him and Murray not being shooters either of them makes them offensively challenged. They are still a positive pairing overall, but Murray would be much better with shooters. Since that date (almost exactly a month ago, in Feb. 3) they are now a +3 together, so they have found ways to play better together throughout this past month than they had prior. I'd give credit to Murray, he has been fantastic lately.

HIm and Manu are a small sample size because Kyle has started a lot of games this season, and has played little with the bench per se, or at least not enough to be definitive.

Manu this season only has positive pairings with Danny (+4)--his best pairing, Tony (+2.7), Murray (+1.7), Lamarcus (+1.1), and Davis (+1). Everyone else has been a negative pairing with Manu, including his much beloved partner Mills, who is a (-0.9) in a very large sample size. And that makes me wonder if Mills starting has much more to do with separating him from a very defensively challenged but offensively skilled crew.

He ran one early and flipped the ball back to Dijon, as I recall. He was moving faster than I ever saw, and I was afraid he was going to stumble at midcourt.

Anderson is a great player, but he shouldn't be playing the three right now. It's just putting him in position to fail by making him guard on the perimeter and have to deal with two bigs clogging the lane on offense. I wish Pop would just stick with a lineup already and not change to match the other team so much. I thought Murray, Mills, Green, Anderson, Aldridge really had something, and there's no team in the playoff bracket that could really force them to move out of that unit.

I am just being appreciative of what he brought this year and that article was perfect for that. I thought it was really humorous while being appreciative of his season this year. As good of a recap as I could hope for.

Of course you'd need him to shine. He took minutes from an MVP candidate last season. It doesn't mean he's not been hilariously enjoyable this season.

:bobo Got to pay respects. I don't know if this is his final season in a Spur uniform. (I think not, but really not sure... FA is FA and Spurs might spin the needle this year).

:lmao This is an instant all-timer. I wouldn't even go that far to describe what Ginobili and Parker were or Aldridge is.

The position doesn't matter, playing him with another non shooter does (unfortunately, that currently describes both Murray and Parker). This team doesn't play two bigs who simultaneously clog the paint on offense because when Gasol plays with Aldridge, he generally spaces to 3.

The reality is, Anderson is going to continue to be an awkward fit offensively until or unless he starts shooting the 3 with more frequency/proficiency and quickens his release.

Maybe an all-time attempt to make a semantic argument on your part. I didn't mean that the way you seem to think it HAS to have been meant. Regardless, Manu was a great player even in the sense I think you mean. How the hell are you not great if you get into the HoF?


The position doesn't matter,

Yes it does. Anderson shouldn't be defending on the perimeter anymore than he should be playing with two post guys on offense. Now if by "non-shooter" you meant a guy who doesn't shoot threes like a perimeter player while also being able to guard wings, when that's fine. But I'll just keep saying he should be playing the four. It's more than just spacing on offense anyway. Gasol and Anderson as the only two players above the FTLE means an easy bucket in transition if the shot misses.

Anderson's release is fine. He does a pretty good job shooting with pressure (has probably had to do it his whole life). If he gets a good stroke, he'll be fine spotting up.

If you want to claim Ginobili, Parker, Aldridge is a semantic argument, that's fine (you can be merely very good and make the HOF, under the right circumstances). But Anderson? :lmao

It just depends on match-ups. Non shooter = unwilling to take and/or unable to make 3s at a respectable rate. I agree that the Murray-Mills-Anderson-Aldridge-Gasol starting five is foolish though.

I actually think the slow release and lack of confidence in his 3 is worse than the proficiency. Think he could shoot approaching league average on decent volume right now, with the right mindset or coaching that placed a premium on it.

Best of luck! Wanted him to return about $5M but $9M is high considering Spurs needs some flexibility.
Prior to NBA Draft last 2014, he's my first choice to be drafted by Spurs even though he's mocked at around 15-20th range.
Love the development of this player since we drafted him. He's slow and sometimes useless but I'm a fan of his game.
I still think KA would've benefit playing with a group of athletic and shooters in the line-up.

Happy for him to get paid eventually considering he's being 30th overall pick last 2014.

You don't have enough rep for 1000$. $100 is fine. Take it or leave it.

TP had a pretty good corner 3 and still knew how to set up players efficiently in a Spurs system. KA to thrive needs not only shooters around him but players to set him up for plays as well. KA is a very unique player considering all of his limitations. He thrives in many other areas and should do well in Memphis with exactly the guys with those skills sets I mentioned (Gasol and Conley)

In hindsight, bringing back Anderson may not have been a bad idea. We could've used him in this series. He had a subpar year for the Grizzlies, but I'm certain he would've played better here under Pop's system.
