He's a good rebounder because of his size. He slows the game down which is a must vs. the Warriors. I like his midrange jumper too, he is in control.
4.
- Terrific box out player. Something West-Diaw-Boban cant do.
- as chinook have pointed out, hes a smart defender.
- hes been a willing corner three pointer.

Sure the size helps, but size cant do without reboubding fundamentals. See Boban and many other ty european 7 footers.
He had an excellent game, last night.
If he's gonna be a full time 4, he needs to put on some weight, tbh.
What i like most is he always seems in control. He doesn't seem to get frantic, and the moment doesn't seem to big for him. Granted he really hasn't played in any big games but theres been a few moments where he was out there in key moments and has hit big shots.
He doesn't move fast enough to be out of control.
Just kidding of course. I agree, he never seems panicked or rushed.
just hope he doesn't get rattled in playoff atmosphere..looks like we are going to need few quality minutes out of him before the Warriors..we don't know exactly the severity of Diaw injury but he might take a back seat in first couple of rounds..If Kyle holds his own , you have to go with him over West vs GSW..
I just rewatched all of his rebounds in this game and none of them can really be classified as contested. There is either no opponent around or if there is, somebody else has already put a body on them. These rebounds don't collect themselves but it was hardly a matter of great fundamentals or hustle to chase them down. On about half of them he didn't even have to jump to get the ball.
He really is a similar player to Diaw as was said the night we drafted him.
Manu has always been very high on him and i think that is a credit to him as Ginobili a great in deph knowladge of the game.
Has excellent timing and anticipation, plus very long arms. He boxes out early unlike D west and other bad rebounding big s who ballwatch and wait until the ball is popping out to try to box somebody out. He has terrific fundamentals too using legs and hips to box out properly, unlike other big s who just put an arm on a guy and think that is going to be sufficient.
Constantly boxes behemoths heavier than he is bc he has heart and grit. Will put a body on someone early for the most part. Obviously others don't see it, or have been too biased to see it. He knows how to play.
Once he starts to play like he belongs, his skill set will allow him to do things very few can. His size and wingspan is ridiculous! He plays lazy sometimes....
At this point, I'd rather see him at PG vs. Golden State, tbh
This isn't an isolate situation buddy, his DEFENSIVE rebounding percentage is the same as Kawhi's for the season: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...l#advanced::10
He's similar to Durant in that he uses his length to grab rebounds.
I already put out there the Kyle/Danny/Kawhi/Diaw/LMA lineup.At this point, I'd rather see him at PG vs. Golden State, tbh
The only reason why I think Anderson's probably going to end up as a four is because I think the Spurs will want to play him next to Kawhi and Green or whichever two-guard the team gets to replace Manu. I don't think he's overmatched on the perimeter at all, especially against bench players. He needs to be aggressive when he has a mismatch on him, which would be more frequent if he played as a wing. He needs to set up shop against the smaller guys and just Dirk-fadeway them into oblivion.
Gotta love the versatility, though. Anderson's able to get a lot more minutes than Joseph was able to because he can fill in for like 75 percent of the roster. That alone is helping speed up his development curve.
Is KA really 6'9? He looks about Kawhi's height.
Looks like a a bucks version of the spurs but on steroids.I already put out there the Kyle/Danny/Kawhi/Diaw/LMA lineup.
I have a love-hate affair with him... I want him to be more aggressive...
I didn't say anything about his rebounding in other games. It just annoys me that the high rebounding number in this particular game is taken out of context.
Fat Head is going to have his CoJo moment against the Worriers.
Been waiting for Bonner to get 11 rebounds during garbage time for half a decade.
i dream him as a pg
he is a pg, unfortunately Pop will not use it in its original position
