I know most of u hate Bonner, but don't you think we need the guy? He has a good 3 and can hit free through. Also plays around the basket. With Neal and Bonner in our team don't you guys think its helping us? just asking ur thoughts.

I wouldn't hate Bonner if he were used properly.

My definition of "used properly" is he enters the game at either forward position when matchups dictate having a bigger body in there and he defends, grabs rebounds and shoots threes for a few minutes. If he isn't hitting his shots AND doing at least one of the other two things, then he's put back on the bench. This happens a maximum of twice a game. Rinse and repeat. Either Bonner gets 4 minutes of game time and goes 0-2 or he gets 15 minutes and goes 4-6. If he has one of those rare nights where everything's working, then you let him play 25 minutes, but he never starts and never gets put into the game for any reason other than to shoot the ball.

That sounds like a good approach. Obviously, an expensive one considering his contract, but it wasn't my money.

[analyzed]

I don't mind Bonner getting minutes in the regular season when one of the three players are out (TD, Splitter, and Blair). He is a guy Pop doesn't need to coach on how to play the system. But that's just it, he is decent for the regular season but not good enough to play minutes in the Playoffs.

Popovich pleased with Anderson's aggressiveness
By Mike Monroe

Gregg Popovich liked the offensive aggressiveness Anderson displayed in the last couple of preseason games, especially in the fourth quarter of Thursday's preseason finale against the Houston Rockets at the AT&T Center.

“I thought James Anderson was more aggressive, looking for some shots,” he said. “It's a good sign that they're playing and taking what's available out there, not just going through the motions.”
