Kyle Anderson will be a bigger piece of the team than Manu by the playoffs

[bic50]

There's a difference between being up 20+ and scoring against the bowel-movement players on an already bottom feeder team, and actually being called upon to score against legitimate rotation defenders as an every-game rotation player.

KA did exactly that against portland, pop called his number and he scored on batum and every defender guarding him pretty easy. Not sure if he can do that every night though.

Kyle is garbage as Player. Seriously, how is even on the team.

[rudwick]

He is a bigger piece of the team right now ... by weight.

This is a thread of the greedy, point blank. Just stfu.

from what he showed in the NBA I agree but there is a chance he can become a serviceable player in the league.... Too early to give up on him and say he shouldn't be on the team. I'd rather have him over bonner because of potential.

tbh at this point, the concept of Manu /PlayMaker /Playoffs alone is laughable

Which team are we referring to? If it's the Austin Spurs you may be entirely correct.

I recall KA went over double digit in a few NBA games last year. He can score. Question has always been, can he defend?

Kyle Anderson isn't going to get the benefit of the doubt because of his lack of speed. The way he plays, it looks like he's walking his way towards a layup.

So despite scoring well against Portland or winning the SL MVP le, folks aren't going to be convinced until he delivers not only in the regular season but in the playoffs. Spurs standards are really high.

IMHO, for a 21 year old, he's got a lot of moves. If I were to assess his defense, it's right now better than Belinelli and probably better than any of the small guards in the roster (i.e. Mills, McCallum, Parker).

Kyle Anderson is actually bigger than most people think. He's got a wing span of 7' 2.75" (.25" less than Leonard) and a standing reach of 8' 11.5" ( 1" less than David West).

He's a very difficult player to defend against. His length compensates for a lot of short comings in defense. He needs to improve though his hustle in defense. He's got a bad habit of taking it easy.

when is the last time Manu has taken over a playoff game

KA can get to his spots relatively easy. He needs a couple of go to moves for when he gets there, like that Dirk fadeaway he seems to be working on. A hook shot would be good. I believe he can be a very good mismatch 4 in this league.

You also noticed that Dirk fade-away? Very promising indeed!

He's going to have a lot smaller players on him and that fade-away just can't be blocked.

A tony parker floater would also be great. Draymond Green used it to great effect when he found himself getting blocked driving to the rim in the finals.

So we're all agreed that fat head will be a bigger piece of than Manu come playoffs

Well, he already has a tricky pump fake and has shown the ability to hit 10 footers while in contact with his man, so those are a few more good signs. Bonner , for all the flak he receives, has developed a killer runner/floater, maybe he can teach KA to do it. Problem is he has to lose his man on the perimeter to get in position to use it, and I don't see KA ever just beating his man straight up. He has to get separation off ball through cuts, but that's not his game.

That Manu dunk....talk about a comeback! Just completely badass. Love watching the bench! It's all they can do to stop from storming the floor!

Bonner's floater was surprisingly effective last season.

I disagree, KA against a much smaller defender can beat his man straight up. He did that consistently against a game against Portland. He in fact had Batum on him and beat him on a post up. He can't do it against bigger PFs, but he certainly can against smaller guards.

What's interesting is that both Anderson and Simmons can create their own shots.

I meant beat his man off the dribble and keep him to his left or rear while going towards the basket. That's the only way he can use the floater , other than cuts or getting the ball out of an off ball screen.

He'll use the floater same way that Bonner uses it.
