Will Anderson be on the team this season? I think he could be a valuable part of the team.

As a first round draft pick, his salary is guaranteed for the first two seasons. He'll be on the team. How much he plays is another question.

Thanks. Hopefully, he gets playing time.

[NASpurs]

Kind of reminds me of a bigger Andre Miller.

[SpursDynasty21]

I hope the Spurs give him playing time.

Please stop trying to sound intelligent b/c you are making Spurs fan look bad.

I was somewhat convinced the Spurs were going to try to get Evan Turner this offseason, as they tried near the trade deadline. Now with Kyle Anderson this won't happen.

And after seeing him destroy the Pacers' chemistry, I hardly think this happens.

You give Turner far too much credit. Pacers were a basketcase with or without him, and well before he arrived.

But he just pushed them over the edge. Getting in a fight with your teammate during the playoffs is never a good sign.

Who would you have taken then?

I liked Inglis a lot as a draft and stash

[Drom John]

as for Tavares I haven't actually seen a 2nd rounder taller than 7'0" who panned out in the league, e.g. Pavel Podkolzine, Peter John Ramos, Martynas Andriuskevicius. Best 2nd rounder at 7'0" iirc is DeAndre Jordan.

For combined seasons; played in the NBA/BAA; in the regular season; from 1946-47 to 2013-14; from 7-1 to 7-7; sorted by descending Win Shares.

There's only 89 players 7'1"+ that have played in the NBA

By WS the best three not selected in the first round:

#13 James Donaldson 4th round (7th pick, 73rd overall), 1979 NBA Draft
#15 Marc Gasol 2nd round (18th pick, 48th overall), 2007 NBA Draft
#17 Mark Eaton 4th round (3rd pick, 72nd overall), 1982 NBA Draft

Kyle Anderson = Greivis Vasquez meets Hedo Türkoğlu

So shutting down Dirk and Aldridge is just stop-gap duty. Tiago is top 3 one-on-one defender in the post and his D Eff numbers prove just that. He is just not effective against small ball teams when BOTH he and Duncan are on the court at the same time. But he does great when it just him, looking at his +/- against the Heat proves just that.

Please stop trying to sound intelligent b/c you are making Spurs fan look bad.

you just used plus minus as some sort of evidence

He led all prospects in our Top-100 rankings in assists at 7.4 per-40 minutes pace adjusted, the highest rate of any player that size in our database since Evan Turner, Luke Walton, and John Salmons.

Same article. Boy, I hope he turns out to be Luke Walton2.0

The guys head is so big it looks like a bad photoshop.

I see alot of Manu in his passing game.

Dude's got a weird ass release on his jumper. Already needs work with Chip


And he's grandma slow. Like a 6'9" Andre Miller slow

Man, I would love to have a 6'9" Andre Miller on the team.

He has a high release but that's to compensate for the fact that he doesn't get off the ground much.

After everything I've read since the pick I'm very happy with Kyle Anderson. I really do think we got quite a steal here.

i see 1-11 FG in his first summer league game!
