6th man is what I'm hoping for.
Pop: " backup PG/SF "
JA looks like he's lost a good amount of weight since last season. It's too bad he hasn't been able to play in summer league yet in his career. That would have been a perfect environment for his style of play.
With all the negativity on the board concerning free agency, rj, Bonner etc....justifiably so.....at least JA, Neal, and Leonard give us a Lil bit to he excited about.
He should be starting at 2 for sure this year.
A Manu and Neal led charge off the bench is great and preserves Manu a bit.
Don't you just get the feeling the Spurs leading scorer this year will not be Tony, Tim or Manu? Is this good news. Hope so. Just have to hurry up and wait.
Hopefully we run plays for him. Seems like someone that will tear it up coming off screens.
Pop played James at the 3 many times before he got injured last year. He even had James defending LBJ when Miami came to town for a preseason game. You can't get caught in the compartmentalizing game with the Spurs. The bigger wing on the floor at the time matches up accordingly on D.
"Playing James Anderson wouldn't be fair to RJ or the cones." -
Put in Splitter in there as well and thats what I'm talking about the whole time ...
our backup PF!
The FO had to be pretty confident in James' future when trading Ghill. I'm excited to see Anderson on the court this season.
If all that plays out with Splitter, Anderson, Neal, and Leonard being a competent core group that can be build upon after the Big 2 (and TP) leave, then Pop will have proven himself smarter than I give him credit for. But I'm skeptical right now. In any event, it'll be cool to watch these young guys play.
This new core would still lack a superstar, so you are right being sceptical. But it would be nice to see some young blood tearin' it up ...
I'm actually pretty excited about this season. I don't put a lot of hope in getting another ring but am looking forward to seeing the future. Will be really pissed and disappointed (but not totally suprised) if Pop doesn't give them good playing time.
Woudn't it be fine if Neal came back and found Anderson was on a par with him in the rotation. a standard 8 man rotation. I could see our young guns coming onto the floor in waves, running the other teams into the ground with energy and the ability to play different positions.
There's more than one way to win ball games.
Spurs fans in general are in re ed, we're going to have amazing depth this season and that is HUGE in this condensed season. We are a LOCK for a top 4 seed, and the odds on favorite to repeat as the #1 seed in the West.
All the haters need to jump off the bangwagon now before we start tearing it up this season.
Finally - someone gets it! Too much negativity around here. What many haters fail to understand is that the Spurs have a strategy that they haven't quite perfected, but this is the year that it comes to fruition!
Stay with me on this -
-the Spurs will spread the floor with 3 point shooters and allow TP or Manu to drive and dish to the open shooter when a defender challenges them.
-Spurs will have near 80% 3 pt shooters this year, so offensive rebounding shouldn't be a factor and size underneath really won't matter either.
With a shortened season jump shots, 3 pointers and transition D will = championship! One more thing - the shortened season will also help the Big 3 because there will be less games!
Full MLE
Last season, he was getting as many minutes (or more) as Gary Neal was until the first injury. I am hopeful that if healthy, he'll average close to 20mpg this season. If he starts nailing that 3 constantly, the depth chart won't look too bad.

he played great last year till he got hurt.. hes got alot of talent hopefully he plays alot this year
Anderson coming back and playing well is basically an addition to last year's team, which we all seem to forget was pretty good in the regular season. Avoid bad matchups in the playoffs this year and the Spurs could go far.
