I love Anderson's development. He does carry the ball occasionally, which his general speed does not hide very well. His vision is improving and he is feeding the bigs easy shots every chance he gets.
In before the haters
Not against Mem but
Love the full highlight threads. Thanks

Kyle Magic Johnson Anderson making his teammates better.
his assists to Lamarcus specifically are outstanding. they've got great chemistry.
Really think this guy will be a starter in the league. I'm not sure he'll ever be able to defend legit fours, but against most teams, it'll be a no-brainer. I hope he develops and isn't shoe-horned into the sixth-man role because people think that the Spurs need a new Manu.
Nice game. Hopefully we have more like this from him next season. He's been making pretty passes in a few games already with more opportunities to make plays with the ball. IMO it's a good sign he's capable of these kind of games without the big 3 or Kawhi bc we'll need him more next season.
He really is a 6'9 PG, more Magic Johnson than Diaw in this game since he likes to pass in transition (Simms the ideal partner for him for that reason) and off the dribble, not like Diaw who passes out of the post.
I do believe many are misforecasting him as a 4. He loves the perimeter. loves creating. loves distributing, and honestly I think he may grow to be more than just "net positive" on defense.
The player he reminds me of somewhat in the modern game is Batum, except Batum is a better 3 pt shooter, but about the same size and both passers. Tatum doesn't rely on superior athleticism either. He's just a confident ballhandler with court vision who has legit size and length like Kyle. Considering that Kyle could start in the league eventually, like Batum too as a SG.
He might even be better passing eventually bc he's creating throwing lobs off the dribble. Remember the lobs to Boban and Danny of all ppl? I mean this guy is practically a rookie Pop has shelved on occasion. I think as he develops he will become a more confident passer, hopefully shooter too.
this guy is unique
Pop has apparently wanted him to learn several positions. I am guessing part of it is so that he can play him at different spots with his best players. For example, although he's ideally a wing, bc of Kawhi or Danny, he can get away with Kyle as a 4. It should be interesting to see him next season,which way he goes.
the point forward of the Spurs

completely agree! right on the money
Kyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee rules!
I think he's bigger than Batum but with a lot less athleticism. Batum isn't much of a passer.
Anderson is clearly pass first player. Glad to see him play point for a majority of this game.
Amazing what happens when he plays his actual position.
I like Kyle and all... nice pass and block, but most of those "highlights" were due to Memphis being .
He had a few pretty ones to Simms against Okc too.
Love the full highlight threads. Thanks
He had a good game, tbh... I still wouldn't give him one playoff minute after the 1st round, based on his body of work throughout this season...
Yeah, don't trust him in intense games yet, but I could see him getting some solid time in vs the Jazz
