Re: What did Pop learn during the absence of both small forwards?
Those stats are pretty eye-popping. James also got alot of garbage time minutes this year, and Danny Green starts games, so the stats are misleading somewhat, but still pretty surprising.

Alcohol is the answer, he had to practically use gum to keep cabin pressure in the plane.
He really showed why he is coach of the year though

D. Green Statistics - Per 36 Min

Overall 25 734 12.1 10.8 42% 6.7 38% 0.6 3.9 2.0 1.9 3.4
J. Anderson Statistics - Per 36 Min
Code:
GP MIN PTS FGA FG% 3PA 3P% FTA REB AST PF +/-
Overall 10 94 13.0 9.6 44% 4.2 46% 3.4 5.4 3.4 2.7 15.7
While JA has a much smaller sample size and did most of his work in garbage time, his stats are better than Green's nearly across the entire board. :wow
They are also tied for DRtg, and Anderson has the better ORtg.
Still....I would take Green over Anderson any day. Anderson has flashes, but he is a streaky scorer and a terrible ball-handler.
statistical anomaly ...The Detroit Lions went 4-0 in preseason and went 0-16 in 2008
I actually likely Anderson in his second stint, he wasn't half bad but a fringe 15th player on a great team could be a rotation player if given the chance on a bad team.
Re: What did Pop learn during the absence of both small forwards?
james anderson is the clown that got beat by green and KL moving up the roster rotations to starting 5....
with or without injuries, he didnt make the most of the limited minutes to show his game last season....
even this season, mills and colo look better then anderson

I think he's balking at the small sample size for JA. He wouldn't be the first player to post great per 30 or per 48 minute stats in limited minutes.
Re: What did Pop learn during the absence of both small forwards?
There's no doubt JA's three point numbers were padded during mop up time. He might have enhanced his chances of finding a team if he would have put together a couple of sell out moves and finishing with a dunk. That's something I thought he was capable of doing even though he didn't. Green is a spot up shooter capable of running Pop's offense hence he has a roster spot.
Re: What did Pop learn during the absence of both small forwards?
Well, I'll add my 2 cents. Since his return its pretty obvious Stephen Jackson is pretty much washed up and cannot play small forward anymore. He is being touted as a stop-gap power forward (one of timvp's dumber ideas) maybe even dumber than his "Dejuan Blair needs to start!" thread..
Meanwhile, the guy the spurs should have signed a few years ago when he was available (Matt Barnes) is once again tearing it up in (this time in clipperland). I hate to say I told u so... but I told u so...

I'm not sold on regular power forward Jackson, and after an injury it can take a few games to get your feet and legs back. That said you want Matt Barnes? Jastal please take your prescriptions for a few days so that you know what reality you are in before posting.

I would never take Matt Barnes over Stephen Jackson, ever.

Matt Barnes line tonight vs nuggets: 8-15, 8 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 20 points. If he keeps this up can you say, "6th man of the year"?
So when is the last time Stephen Jackson put up a line like that? Even as a starter.... good luck on your research....

The "while" part is the key. Garbage time stats are garbage.
