His ceiling is a slightly better Luke Walton due to his much longer wingspan, tbh..
Bill Walton "He's a comet shooting across the universe in the Pacific Northwest."
Vitale “Should be a lock top 15 – Kyle is a mini version of Magic Johnson & that is high praise.”
Bob Hurley Sr "Modern-day Magic Johnson"
Bobby Hurley "If you think about what his potential is and his upside is, I think it's as high as any player who has stepped in the door,”
Lebron James "One of the next big things in basketball."
Kevin Durant "The best player in the country."
Tbh, I'm sickened by the lack of trust and faith in KA. "It's his rookie season." "He has to learn the system." He needs to spend time in Austin so he can gain experience." 'Rome wasn't built in a day." KA's going to surprise a lot of you. He has great court vision, makes smart plays with the ball, is very physical without the ball, is an absolute thief, and is an aggressive and smart rebounder.

Question, why didnt he go higher if he has all this potential?
Answer.... Because the Spurs are the smartest organization in professional sports. Their loss is the Spurs gain, tbfh.
Yeah. I noticed that, too. Cheated him out of a block.The credited him with 1 block on the boxscore when he had 2 on the same play
Best: Diaw
Worst: Manu
Boris Diaw is a very very high ceiling for this kid imho.
I've been hopeful for him but he just hasnt shown anything good yet except a monster game in the little league.
Teams are stupid? There are a lot of very badly run front offices that would easily draft an athlete over a basketball player. They do it every year, and then wonder why they have a bust on their hands.
Honestly, so far, he fails in comparison with Nando. Nando was able to make some very good assists on occasion.
KA hasn't done much since the regular season started.
This isn't good because his confidence seems to be dropping like a rock.
There a lot of rookies that have been drafted before KA that also haven't done a single thing. Heck, the entire Sixers team is full of high draft pick rookies and sop re players. Guess what.... that bunch hasn't won a game yet.
Draft picks in general are over rated. It takes like 4-6 years for a player to become serviceable in the NBA.
If a team is relying on a rookie for big numbers then that team is not very good, that simple...KA needs time to refine his game for when SA actually needs some production from him maybe as early as next season.
cory joseph was very unpolished 2 years ago. Hes our future pg guy could start on half the teams in the nba. Give him 2 years or so to develop a little.
His head is too big for him to be of any use to an NBA team.
He could start on the 76ers...I'd rather have Raymond Felton starting.
And if he's our future, it's a rather ty, bleak future.
Basketball reference lists him at 6'9" and 230 and Boris at 6'8" and 215. I was surprised he was that big because he looks a little skinny to me. Boris is listed as a PF and SG which seems a little strange but we are in an era where position designations aren't following the old standards.
But if he really is that big, let's think of Anderson as a PF. At that position his lack of footspeed doesn't matter as much since very few PF are real quick. Pop should try him out at the PF more and forget about him as a guard or SF. There isn't much point in playing him outside the arc right now as his shooting isn't good enough to make him a threat right now. If I'm guarding him, then I'm gonna play way off and help out my teammates.
His stats are virtually non-existent so he will reveal himself as the season progresses.
Dang he does look epically slow like nando
Boris is definitely NOT 215
Spurs official site lists Anderson at 6-9 230 lbs and Boris the Diaw at 6-8 250 lbs.
So if Kyle could get 15 lbs that would be great for him to play PF.
Tiago for example is 6-11 245lbs
Baynes is 6-10 260lbs
Ayres is 6-9 250lbs.
Othe players i think Kyle Anderson can be compared in terms of body are.
Scola 6-9 250lbs
West 6-9 250lbs
Get the outta here with that . Anderson is a role player at best. He has zero aggressive bone in his body, so the comments about rebounding can go. To put it in perspective he was 6'7 as a sr in high school 215 lbs averaged 6 rpg. I was 6 foot and averaged 7.
He's smart, and will add more to the team than just numbers, but in reality SA will have to have a big three, or a really good inside outside tandem for him to come anywhere near a ceiling.
By the time he gets meaningful minutes the current big 3 will be gone. He was an overhyped project coming out of college, hence the drop in draft. Pull up the old thread on the pick, watch 90 percent of ST bust a nut for a Toro...
So many debbie downers on this site. How do you guys live with yourselves? Holy the negativity is too strong with yall i wonder if its any fun to actually be around you guys in real life. You people are horrible. To cast Anderson as some scrub this early... I wonder what yall thought of Cory? Hes doing well now and he sucked before.
Since he was drafted he has lost some of that soft chub rock and is starting to put on lean mass. You can see it in his neck and soldiers. As college athletes go he was a pretty bad body coming out. For better or worse it seem Pop is more inclined to give Daye minutes over Anderson this season so my expectations are quite low. If he continues to reshape his body then I'm not sure what he might be able to do.
HATER!!!! You'll see!!! You'll be sorry the day you didn't believe in Santa Cla, I mean Kyle "Magic" Anderson!!!! "He just needs to get some confidence." "He fits the Spurs system to a tee". "Besides, he was the best passer in the draft. "Of course, he'll never reach his full potential if Pop doesn't run plays through him." Speaking of passes and I hate to ask, can you make a gif of Anderson's pass to Diaw? It was sweeeeeeeet!!!!
Lol, what? Nando runs like an Olympic sprinter compared to Anderson. Anderson's like that tall dude at the Y who just wants to shoot 3's and never post up - even though he's one of the tallest guys on the court. You know, he's the guy with the knee brace who just methodically runs up and down the court between the 3 pt lines. Makes a few slick passes and a couple of shots but just isn't scrappy or tough. -- That's what Anderson looks like against NBA talent thus far.
H8trs gone h8. But if he was smart, and live his lyfe based on rap lyrics he wouldn't have no worries
