Bill Simmons Take on Anderson

[mexicanjunior]

I personally don't agree, I think Anderson is going to be good...

6:33: Weird one for me: I've learned never to doubt San Antonio's picks, but it just took someone I had penciled in as a bust (Oklahoma State's James Anderson). This is awkward.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bill Simmons isn't smart.

[Cane]

Is he referencing some kind of draft article he wrote? Would be interesting to see why he thought Anderson would be a bust although his style is more about entertainment than anything else. Otherwise being "penciled in as a bust" isn't exactly a great argument especially when most analysts predict that its another good pick, even a steal.

However Simmons did also write that he's learned not to doubt the Spurs picks and he's one of the bigger Spurs/Duncan fans out in the LA-infested media.

I swear everytime this guy opens his stat-filled mouth, he proves to the world how dumb he really is. Memo to Simmons: Stick with your theorems, equations and PERs. Leave the player analysis to others.

I thought Hollinger was the stat guy...

[Veterinarian]

So he compliments the Spurs by saying he's learned never to doubt their drafting ability, but because he didn't like James Anderson he's an "idiot".

okay.

I know, he was stupid when he disagreed with the draft pick but smart when he said they were a good drafting organization.

I don't know how you did it but you confused Simmons with Hollinger.

[EricB]

Lol funny post IMO. He's just saying I had him as a bust Orr draft but the spurs who draft well took him so it's akward. Funny, we shall see though if Anderson is or is not a bust.

[Blake]

Bill Simmons is hilarious.

[murpjf88]

Jack McClinton was also the best shooter in the draft. Look where he ended up. Shooters can be hit-or-miss in the pros especially ones that can't create their own shot. It will be a miracle if he sees more than 5-8 minutes a game in Pop's system. He won't get much burn his rookie season but will excel in garbage time.

[Buddy Holly]

Bill Simmons thought (as did a lot of people) the Celtics were first round losers. So maybe he shouldn't think so highly of his own opinion.

[Buddy Holly]

He also said he thinks the Spurs organization drafts well. So maybe you're right.

Golden State Warriors... really?

[SenorSpur]

That's Hollinger, not Bill Simmons. Dumbass.

Look at your avatar... I rest my case.

[Veterinarian]

Really, I'd like to take the side of a fellow Spurs fan but how is it even possible to confuse Bill Simmons with John Hollinger? That's a serious question btw, no trolling.

[Dex]

He also said he thinks the Spurs organization drafts well. So maybe you're right.

Parker, Ginobili, Scola, Udrih, Hill, Splitter, Blair...

[Juanobili]

6:22: Just called my dad for his Bradley take. "Did you hear them say he was ranked higher than John Wall heading into college last year?" he asks. Dad and I are moving on. We're totally over that Game 7 loss. As far as you know.
