ok.. for those who know james anderson' game.. cuz ill be honest i didn't watch any game of his until he got drafted by us.. how is his ball handing?
he pulled his weight around when he played with us those few games.. but he seemed kinda like a stiff IMO.. maybe it was the injury who knows.. but he always seemed like some guy who'd turnt he ball over easily when trying to drive in the lane or something.. so he'd be better off being a spot up shooter..
I'd say his ball handling was decent from what I watched, he's no point guard thats for sure. But what I did see from him was very consistent in what was described, he can shoot the ball and well. Having only memories and youtube clips maybe of him playing, he looked like he fit in well and whenever they needed him to hit his shots he did. It's a miracle that Neal fit in and could cover his spot so well.Quote:

Anderson is taller, bulkier shooter than Neal. He'll have to play some SF to get any minutes IMO because he can't beat Neal out of the rotation at guard based on Neal's great performance so far.
that's pretty much been the plan since day 1.Quote:

He was playing 17 before the injury, and I don't really see a problem with 15-17 when he gets back and in shape.Quote:

the key is to get into shape because the plan, i am sure, is to get him back into the rotation very quickly. i expect him back once the rodeo road trip starts up.

James Anderson is active and is warming up ... BUT, he's unavailable to play. Don't get excited. #spurs

Makes sense. The Toros have four home games in five days next week, so there should be plenty of time for reps and evlauation.
Bite your tongue, I get to drive about 8 miles and see the games.Quote:

“It’s more likely he can get 15, 20 or 30 minutes there than he could here right now,” Popovich said. “I’m not going to put him in a game 20 or 30 minutes right off the bat. Down there, he can get those minutes and get into a rhythm a lot more quickly rather than waiting for me to get him into a game.”

James Anderson was in uniform on the San Antonio bench on Wednesday for the first time since November 6th, but Gregg Popovich had no intention on using him.
Anderson is scheduled to join the Spurs Austin Toros NBA D-League team early next week on an assignment coach Popovich said is intended to get his rhythm back.

James Anderson getting close to return to Spurs

Being injured sucks. Not only do you not get to play, but you spend a lot of time away from your teammates, guys who you (hopefully) like to hang around. You have to sit behind the bench during games, there’s less time in the locker room with the guys and oftentimes you stay behind on road trips to rehab.
Instead, there’s a whole lot of time working with trainers and strength and conditioning coaches. I would imagine that when you’re working with them, they’re not much fun to be around.
