Bonner was a dunk champ in high school
In New Hampshire.
15 years ago.
pretty crappy take if you ask me. spurs system is great at negating athletic liabilities. spurs will carve out a nice niche for him and use his strengths in such a manner that they will benefit the team. he can become a decent role player for us.

Don't know how he'll pan out in a few years, but I'm expecting zero from this kid this year. Sure, he'll get some minutes in blow outs when there are injuries, but I imagine we'll see him less than we saw Corey Joseph his first year. That said, we'll see a lot of Corey Joseph until Mills gets back.
It's not fair to compare a 35 year old with a 20 year old. So, of course "15 years ago in New Hampshire". 15 years from now we will not be able to look back and make fun of Anderson winning a dunk contest ANYWHERE. Even New Hampshire. I am hopeful about the kid, but comparing him to Boris at 20, and even Bonner, athletically, doesn't work. He conveniently took a "sick day" on the agility test for a reason. Bobo and BonBon were both more athletic at 20.
Not crappy when it's a decent possibility. He didn't do horribly in Summer League, but he wasn't exatly dominating out there. And, that, for the most part, is sub-par compe ion. It is possible that when he sees full NBA rosters, not just the third stringers of Summer League, he will be unable to adapt. But, nothing's guaranteed either way. We'll just have to wait and see.
It's only an online op piece, just role with it.
Don't you mean Rolle?
You and your silly transitive law.
I know the Spurs drafted him in the First Round, but he was never the same after his foot injury.
I think he's playing in Lithuania.
Best Case Scenario: Magic Johnson.
Worst Case Scenario: Bo Outlaw.
The problem for Anderson (and this is why he slid all the way down to #30 in the draft) is that he's most effective playing point guard.
I gather Pop will just insert him anywhere in the line-up just to confuse the opposing team.
Anderson will be a beast and perfect Diaw replacement with at least as high a ceiling. Dude has a standing reach of 9 foot. That's FREAKISH.
He also played with sub-par players. Anderson is the type of player who is most effective when he is able to make things happen for his teammates.
I wouldn't read too much into his SL play.
Checked the numbers, 2 inches more than Kawhi and Bonner, 1 inch more than Ayres, but 2 inches less than Splitter and Daye (9'2").
Honestly, Anderson has enough length to play in replacement of Bonner or Ayres.
This may be true. I am not reading too much into it by saying it is inconclusive. Others are giving him the thumbs up before he's played one NBA game, and calling other people's takes "crappy" when they are still as likely a scenario as any other. That's reading too much into his summer leage play, to think after it, none of the things the poster said could end up being true.
James is playing on the same team as Javtokas btw. Such a shame that both careers got derailed by injuries.
Interesting, many sportscasters have also made this comparison, although more have said worst case is Boris Diaw.
Give me a break. Wed be extremely lucky if he was a new version of Diaw.
Yes, we would, but the best thing we as fans can do is give it all a chance to play out.
In terms of athleticism, can we characterize Anderson as a smaller Tim Duncan? He seems to have unusual reach and wingspan at 6'8".
are you ing serious ? batmanu should have used blue front... best case magic johnson ? worst case Boris Diaw ?
are you on crack or something ? you suck at bb... stay focused on tweeting Mark
