The guy's a rookie. Give him a break. :lol He got good shots, just couldn't get them to fall.

^^:lol it's a joke thread, tbh, just looking for something to discuss after that boring game..
He is really raw, though..
He's actually the opposite of raw, his shot is just not faliing.

Just throwing this out there, but rookie Diaw averaged 1.3ppg/2.8rpg/1.0apg in his first 4 games. And he was playing 15 minutes a game (Anderson is averaging 14) tbh.

He looks really slow and awkward/uncomfortable, tbh..
I hope he's raw, because if not, then :lol..
I'm not down on him, he barely has any experience, I'm just saying it doesn't look like he's anywhere near ready for real minutes IMO..

He's slow, but he already knows the offense tbh. If he can fix his shot I think he can be a rotational piece by the end of the season.

I think he's doing good so far, tbh. Just needs to work on his shot. His defense has actually been better than I expected.

He was looking pretty comfortable bringing the ball up the floor last night (while CoJo was also out there), and he wasn't a bad shooter in college. Makes me wonder if Chip has been working with him to rebuild his shot.

He's 20, and plays an old man's game. He's not athletically gifted, he just plays with pace and deliberation. I'm sure Pop thought he was doing him a solid by giving him minutes in both LA games, but he was probably nervous playing in front of UCLA fans.
Sean seems really sold on him. He said that there were only two players the Spurs drafted that got him up off the couch yelling during the draft boradcast. One was Tim, and the other one was Slow Mo. He says it will be a couple of years, though, but that he will be VERY good.

Same as the number of FGs kobe hit this game
I think that Chip is fixing his shot. And usually when you are fixing your shot, you will go into a shooting slump because you are used to your old shot, while your brain tells you that you need to shoot the new way, and it all gets jumbled up thats why your shot will be off. Thats why alot of players cant fix their shots, because when this happens, they think that their old shot is better, and they revert back to it.

The slomo moniker was cute during the offseason but being slow as fuck with a fat dome against NBA players is painful to watch.

He'll have no problem at this level on offence, I just don't see him being able to defend NBA quality wings. Get him to add 30lbs and put him in the post and he'll excel.

Very young and raw but y'all can give up on him since spurstalk knows all about basketball.

I like that he's getting some playing time. He probably will spend some time in Austin for more consistent PT. The coaching staff maybe wants to work more closely with him on his defense, shooting, and where he can be most effective on the floor.
kaji157
11-15-2014, 12:21 PM
The guy is getting some playing time with 7 games into the season, so he must have achieved something or Pop would still be playing only A. Daye.
With Pop in the beginning is not about how many shots you can make but about how you can play within the system and add to it.
He seems more worried about being in the right place than making the shot. And for me it is the right thing to do for him now. We don´t need anything from him yet.

Its November what and the immediate results are in.... the rookie sucks, Manu and TP suck. everyone sucks, Pop is dumb and RC is dumber. Why oh why did we trade Paul George.
lol raw.
dude is bizzaro kawhi
His defense has been better than I expected, tbh. He's not lockdown by any means...but he uses his length and height deceptively well, especially on the recovery.
He's also shown the passing ability that he was known for in college, and drew him all the Boris Jr. comparisons. His shot has been off the few times he's seen the floor consistently, but that's not unexpected for a rookie who rarely gets his number called.
Frankly, if he's gonna stick in the league, he's got a lot of work to do on his jump shot, but I still like what I've seen from him so far.

Anderson was back in Los Angeles this week as the Spurs faced the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, and the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Anderson only played a collective 18 minutes in the two games, but that is expected for a rookie on a contending team filled with future Hall-of-Famers and veterans. For now, Anderson is happy to work on improving his overall game and focusing on the things that Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich demands from each player.
“Just with everybody from the top guy all the way down to the rookie, it starts on defense,” said Anderson. “He can’t stress that enough, that its starts with transition defense. So when I’m in practice or wherever I can help, I just come in with that focus; getting stops, transition defense, and that will lead to good offense.
“Just being able to knock down open shots, speed up my game and lose that methodical pace. Try to speed up my game a little more and be able to knock down open shots really, and make the extra pass.”
When asked why he needed to pick up the pace, Anderson acknowledged the concerns that scouts had and still have about his game.
“Well it’s just a different level up here, the shot clock, guys who are much stronger than you, guys who are faster; it’s a different level,” Anderson said. “I may not get away with that [pace], so it’s something I wanted to work on, something they wanted me to work on, and I’ve been working on it so I’m pretty happy with where I am.”

At least he gets it.
I still expect KA to be a good player in two-three years. He has the instincts, he just needs to fine-tune the abilities. He's like the opposite of Ian Mahinmi in that regard.

I agree, which is I why I expect he'll spend considerable time in Austin after Beli comes back. He needs extended game time and he's not going to get that with the big club.

He moves and shoots how I imagine Mr Burns would on a court.
Still, I've been satisfied to see him play instead of Marco, and thrilled to see him instead of Daye. Other than his terrible shooting, he's been okay, good enough to not hurt the team at least.

It's all going to start with him knocking down his wide open looks... That'll open up a nice pump and drive game where his creativity will shine, just like Boris does when he catches it beyond the arc
wildbill2u
11-15-2014, 06:18 PM
Their guards/forwards went past him like his shoes were nailed to the floor. Remember the time when he was on a break and a Laker caught him by his jersey? I think SloMo just was in his way and he was trying to avoid a rear-end collision. He should have just ran past him and waited for Anderson to chug down the court.

i don't think they wanted to draft an american kid... given how saturated the roster/rotation was coming in, i think they wanted to go with a euro-stash guy, but didn't expect KA to fall.
nobody besides xmas was expecting much out of this guy year 1. he's been whiffing on quality looks though

i don't worry too much about his jumper, that's most likely nerves and the changes Chip has prescribed. agree that Spurs probably didn't expect him to fall, so even if he doesn't pan out I think it was a smart move.

Once everyone returns from injury, he'll go to Austin. When he comes back, he'll turn a lot of heads.

You cant tell much about the potential of a vast majority of players in their first year of Pop's system. That goes doubly for rookies.

Anderson has a better wingspan and is more athletic, but Walton was a better shooter..

Anderson looked solid tonight. His shot was falling and he made some great passes. Obviously there isn't really anything he can do about his lack of speed, but he was able to use his length to get some steals and boards.
If his NBA career doesn't work out... I think there's a re-make in his future.
