But does he do the Kawhi sign?
Positive
- Good interior passer
- Doesn't look like he is lost in the offense
- Clearly knows his limitations and strengths
- Great patience.
Work on
- His three point shooting
- Pop tried to post him once in the third, and he clearly is physically poor...not sure if he can work on that judging by his physique and overall game
- Somewhat slow with his defensive rotation
Overall, he is nothing special tbh. Some skillsets that fits the spurs, but otherwise..Average.
Best case scenario this year for him
Daye gets cut off and he averages 3 minutes or so per game
Worst case scenario for him
Toros ( which isn't really that bad)
But does he do the Kawhi sign?
People make the mistake of thinking height is important in the post. In actuality, beanpoles will struggle more than shorter players on the block.
I liked Kyle, but he'll struggle against actual NBA talent.
Good to know we have him pegged 2 games into preseason tbh.
Yup..
I dont know why pop called that play. Maybe wanted to see if he can fadeaway or some other Dirk or durant kinda move...
Who did this? Or just trying to be a smarty pants?
What's a smarty pants?
It's a brand of cereal.
A tad slow lol
but does he pass to Kawhi?
ST has decided after a few minutes that KA's NBA career is a non-starter
lol. this site is terrible. the worst part is that it didn't always suck.
What part of "first look" is difficult to understand?
First look
EDIT: Chinook already replied
To be fair, you both did offer conclusions. 0-3 minutes per game maximum, or headed to the Toros. That is "pegging" the kid, as Mugen states. Pegged him low. He may be right, but he can't feign as if he didn't "peg" him. You, also, conclude he will struggle against NBA talent. Not all that unusual to see people call out these conclusions as premature, even if you're right.
First look
edit: oh it was the first two words of the ing thread le
I've also said I expect him to play the backup two next season and be able to defend it well enough. He's gonna struggle, and he'll get better.
I'm not talking about his career, relax..I said this year..
With the players the spurs have already, the best case scenario for him playing time wise would probably be around 3-5mpg a game..Thats being realistic.
toros will most likely improve him as well
I thought he looked pretty good out there for, you know...the one game of basketball we've seen him play.
I didn't say career, either, nor did Mugen.
The best thing about his going to the d-league is the faster pace and that he'll probably be facing smaller opponents most of the time. Sould get a very good idea about how he can guard the perimeter if they choose to play him there in Austin.
That's what I'll be curious to see. He looks like a guy who'd play the four in the d-league. But he really should run as a two to try to develop that part of his game. Especially if Cotton starts next to him, Anderson should get a lot of time as a play-making wing. Defensively, it will probably help him to face undersized twos who can shoot like Goudelock. A good number of NBA backup SGs fit that category. Also should help break Anderson of his habit to overhelp.
That's why I ended with the qualifier. Honestly he could probably get away with playing any position in the D-League. I hope they actually try him out at 1-4 as long as he's running the offense most of the time. He'll be a priority over the training camp cuts and they will have plenty of PT to develop around Anderson even if they have to come off the bench in some lineups.
My contention was with the "nothing special" and "average" assessment tbh. Too early to tell how his game will translate and unfair to judge his skillset in a meaningless preseason game.
As for this season's projections, most Spurs fans already figured that he'll barely play and see a lot of the time in the D-League.
