What potential?
I never bought into him and now he can't even shoot.
What potential?
He did look promising at the few games last season. This season, it's just terrible.
Is it smart to depend on any bench player to be consistent?
Dont know that I ever was there, even if, now I dont.
Im still trying to figure out what his game is. Is he a slasher, spot up shooter, beat-guy off the dibble type? I have no clue at this point. He does seem slower than I remember.
he got beat off the dribble by 2nd and 3rd string guys from okc
dude is sloooooooooooooooooooow
the only thing his good at is beat his man of the the dribble, thats about it....
lol spurs and JA fanatics
James did play good last yr.....I think he still has potenial.....he can hit the 3....give the guy some time....I think he needs more practice....the lockout didn't help at all
He's dropped in the rotation after being first off the bench for Manu. So the Spurs are a little down on him.
He does look slow. But he looks decent in the post. He should develop a low post game.
man, i hope you're right. right now, the 2-guard order (when healthy) is manu - neal - green - anderson. if green can consistently hit the corner 3, i don't think anderson will move up the ladder any time soon.
losing my faith slowly but surely...
Not high on him at all. Looks fat, slow, can't defend and now has lost his one and only ability which is shooting.
maybe his demotion is playing with his head a little bit - he knows he has very little time to make an impression and seems to be willing to compromise some of his defense for offense - never a good sign
towards the end of the game okc shoots - before the ball even reaches the basket, JA is off to the races; ball bounces off the rim, baseline to an open okc player - swish
i havent seen anything i like of this kid yet.Doesnt show me much quickness or ups and he just doesnt look nba ready
damn. already losing faith in player who hasnt even played 20 games this season. 1 week of training camp, only 2 pre season games & unable to workout with any of the spurs coaches during the offseason. give him some time.

Why do people cherry pick their right guesses or feelings and drag those up and ignore all the things they were wrong about?
Why do they not make these assertions before it becomes "obvious"?
Why make post hoc ad nauseum claims sans quid pro quo?
I agree with these two posts. I'm as disappointed with Anderson's start to the season as anyone, but lets not forget the kid has played 35 NBA games. I definitely agree that his minutes and role being all over the place so far this season has been messing with his head a little bit, he might be putting too much pressure on himself with each game and each shot that he isnt able to just go out there and play ball. Once he has time to settle, carve out a more tangible role in the rotation, and get into a rhythm, I fully expect him to have, at the least, a solid second half of the season.
And this one too^^
I started a thread questioning whether Anderson was good enough???? months ago.

He's had all the same time as the other players to practice and bring his game forward. Supposedly he was playing well before the start of the season in practice.
But he is steadily playing his way to the end of the bench and you don't get many chances to earn minutes in this league when others are out-playing you when they get the chance.
Thanks for the link
Two of my post from the link:
"I was more impressed from the start with Neal. It's obvious that Neal is significantly better than Anderson at offense and neither are great at defense."
"I must of missed all of this. I never seen Anderson display a "ton of athleticism" before the injury. He can't score in a variety of ways either. All he can really do is shoot wide open 3's. He has limited ball handling and athleticism. That will prevent him from being anything but a 3pt shooter on offense.
I just don't see what all of you guys see in Anderson. He plays like an old guy that lost a step. Hopefully we didn't see him in peak physical condition at the beginning of last year."
Yes This is like his rookie year since he was out for almost all of last year.
He will have his ups and downs.
