One Kyle anderson ....



Nothing that guy does will translate to the NBA .sorry. Not as plAymKer. Not a good shooter. Not gonna get to the line against better NBA defenders. Not a good defender.



its like a college QB who just won't translate to the NFL ... Some guys have the tools to be an okay player at one level and not the next.

Timeout.... Keith bogans :lol

Wish I could be there, but going to Cozumel this wknd....

Sure he has work to do but your take is pretty stupid.

Cause teams are going to put their best defenders on him :rolleyes

Chris Tucker on First Take just now: "I love the Spurs man, I love the Spurs." Said they're his favorite team in the West (he's from ATL and is a Hawks fan).

lmao at cherry picking kyles few decent moments playing garbage time. Dude was historically bad. A team doesn't have to put their best defender on Kyle anderson.... Or their 2nd best or 3rd best. Dude is garbage.

At work and can't watch the game but I'm checking in for updates. :flag:

#30 Defense is turrible

:flag:

Just got the stream. How do we look so far?

:lmao Dat projected Blazers lineup

No KA?

Yeah, he just hit his 1st shot. Had a nice block also...

OKC trades PJIII to the Celtics.

KA doing what he do

More wonderful announcing...

Nice drive fathead....

Stay aggressive.

KA draws fouls like a summer league Harden.

Is Bogans jersey number his age?

Simmons getting after it on D

Simmons off to a rough start. :(

I think he can have a long successful Dleague/ Summer league career.

:wow KA

nice fadeway

End of the 1st:

that was a pro move against smaller player for Kyle. He can get that anytime against that kind of competition

Hoping his dleague time is pretty limited this year.

Kyle is so much more comfortable out there compared to his Utah games.

KA feeling it right now....

Keep it going.

That was going to be a nice assist by KA before he was fouled.

He's 100% a guy whose play is determined by those around him. With good players, he can be solid, maybe even more. With guys who have never played together or are looking out for themselves, not so much.

Ah yes, just what we needed Summer League replay reviews..

yeah maybe he has to warm up to the team to keep with the Slomo nickname lol

Clear path foul. Even better move.

Before you all get excited about KA.... lets not forget what he looks like against NBA competition.

Refs also auditioning for regular season games, gotta be able to show they're capable of unnecessary delays as well.

And Kyle is only 21

Meh. Been keeping track of his progress since he was drafted, nothing else. Just rooting for the guy and hoping for the Spurs to find another diamond.

I really don't understand some of this Kyle Hatred, he's barely entering his 2nd season lol man's got serious skills for his size

Malcolm Thomas for the 5th big spot of Bonner retires or leaves. He did work on his 3pt spot.

I like how they are keeping Simmons or kyle on the court at all times

Simmons quiet so far.

These announcers lol

Don't rain on our parade....

It's the Summer League brah. I just want to see the guy improve.

Kyle has to work on his screen setting, made no contact at all on his last three P&Rs.

if we are considering Copeland and another wing, why not Eddie? I wouldnt be surprised if we are considering him. He just needs to stay consistent

Love the hustle...

Davies going off.

Nice hustle by the team!

This. Give Kyle time he'll be alright.

Danny Green in the building!

:worthy: LDN

Nice of DG to support the team

"DANNY WE ARE FRIENDS ON TWITTER.... HEY EVERYONE IM FRIENDS WITH DANNY GREEN"

Our only media friendly player outside of Manu or Tony. :lol

Is that the guy with the NBA finals record for 3 pointers in a series?

1. Duncan
2. Aldridge
3. Diaw
4. West
5. Bobi

I pretty sure there are already 5 under contract.

Until the next time he fouls a three-point shooter at the end of a game.

I bet he has had media handling sessions to go with his other basketball training. Maybe more than most of the team.

Just a dumbass hashtag...inexcusable.

:worthy: The guy wearing the Mississippi State hat

That was pretty solid hassling in the post by Anderson

Anderson is a black hole on offense. kick it out to the open 3 point shooter once.

NBAtv has DAL-WSH. Any way to watch this game online?

summer league live is what I am using

Simmons trying to be a creator . KA is a ball stopper on offense so far.... interesting to see that considering KA was supposed to be a facilitator .

I'm a big Green fan actually. He's gives good interviews (and a lot of them) which gives the fan some insight into the team. On the court, his D is great, and when he's hot in his shooting we're practically unstoppable. I think its a bit of a shame with Kawhi (and to a lesser degree Timmy) around he'll probably never make an all-defensive team, but he's of that caliber I think.

We've had some nice ball movement and drive and kicks to get the corner 3 in the 1st half.....

We just couldn't convert.

has Cady made one three all summer league?

Yeah he was snubbed last year and iirc he actually made a subtle tweet about it. :lol

With Aldridge joining the team and all the hype around the Spurs now, it's possible he could make it next season.

Vonleh looking decent

Blazers playing much better team basketball than us .

nice three eddie

How was that a foul at around the 6min mark an offensive foul by Anderson?
