Welcome to the club. Started it last season.
He does a few things well and you want to go, "Yeah! He can do things!" and then he s the bed the rest of the time with his passivity and overall uselessness.
Gosh darnit! I want the guy to do well so bad and he just refuses to! He refuses to succeed! He refuses to go out and grab that brass ring!
At least Simmons go's out and tries, for all his boneheaded mistakes. Anderson is getting tiresome for me to watch.
Almost Parker-level tired.
Welcome to the club. Started it last season.
But has no ing value
Yet some people here still act like he's the second coming of Lamar Odom
This is the time when I wish Isaiah Thomas, or Billy King was still a GM...
My god did he ruin the ball movement tonight playing with the bench. He's not selfish, but he's just an awful offball player..
Here's what happens all the time.
Manu or Patty breaks down the defense..Pass out to kyle with a little bit of an open space. Two things he should do, shoot or drive strong...what he actually does..Fakes, then dances around and pass it out..That resets the offense but with very little time on the shot clock.
I'm still rooting for Anderson, but he's been the worst player so far...Parker was at least passable and.played a decent role in the GSW game...Kyle has been invisible the whole 5 games.
SAGirl gonna hate me for saying this, but...
Even the alleged 'aggressive' Kyle is unadultered . He ran the point in one possession, and I puked a bit. Then when he tries to do the slomo shake and bake, I feel like I need to take a shower afterwards.
His defense on the perimeter is l-a-z-y. There's no other way to describe it: lazy.
I'm not putting this loss on him, lots of blame to go around. I'm just getting to that point where watching him check in feels like a let-down, tbh...
He is... he's Lamar Odom, strung out on heroin shots.Yet some people here still act like he's the second coming of Lamar Odom
That was a real typo..I was gonna type should..
And where did the notion that he was a good defender come from? Guy can't 1.) stay infront of ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE and 2.) HE DOESNT ING TRY TO CLOSE OUT. So triggered. this guy
so after 5 games ^ this thread still holds
very underwhelming so far
He's got two decent qualities..passing and Rebounding. Hes not good enough to steal touches from the other guys so his passing would never be utulized..but it never should with the talent around.
His only asset that he showed last year was rebounding..and he's doing that but with4 bigs that can rebound plus Danny and Kawhi..its probably not needed.
He's actually not bad contesting in the post against smaller players, he has good length. I'll give him that. The perimeter though, it's like terrible.
You called it exactly. And... you may be rooting for him still, I'm looking at him like the new RJ. This guy is a cul-de-sac of a player. No use in rooting any longer.
He turns down open 3 point shots, and chooses to do his slow ass herk and jerk, in and out hesitation dribble into two defenders and his teammate.. then panic passes out of the congested garbage that he created. He's terribly ineffective to the point where his presence just hurts everyone else around him offensively.
His defense is okay, but he made terrible rotations tonight and looked very bad.
Spurs need Bertans and Green back.
Bertans should steal his minutes at the back up SF.
Try to fleece a team and trade Kyle for a 2nd still. Then sign Archie Goodwin.
Yeah but how many times do small players post up and how many times do they see kyle and not just go for the easy blow by. . THIS. GUY.
He has to create a niche for himself as a "stretch-4 stopper", most stretch-4s are slow footed guys like Ryan Anderson so his foot-speed won't be much of a problem & he can rebound very well so the team won't get killed on the boards playing him at the 4. He can most likely use his D-League isolation prowess against stretch-4s since they tend to be the worst defenders on the floor.
Tonight, he should have been matched up against Ingles/Lyles who killed Lee all game long but Pop's answer was Softrige.
After a solid Summer League I thought Anderson might show some development, but he's been a huge disappointment. Bertans should get his minutes tbh.
Please. He cant play period
He hasn't been good. I'd send him down to the dleague with a strict instruction to shoot at least 5 3s per game and play off the ball. If he hasn't by half time, coach has to come in and call plays to get him off the ball and to the open 3. I thought that was the most important thing Pop had to do this season, figure out a spot he'd play and stick him in it and I thought him hitting the 3 was going to be huge. It hasn't happened, he hasn't been that aggressive with his 3, and Pop also has had him all over the place in spots and roles, etc. so the criticism is well deserved. Hopefully he turns things around, and coach too...
Thank god for Bertans, much better option than Daye/Bonner if Kyle is thrown in the doghouse.
Kyle killed Lyles in SL. It was SL but they were matched up against each other. Honestly I think he's played as a wing bc that is what the team needs, it might not be the best for him.He has to create a niche for himself as a "stretch-4 stopper", most stretch-4s are slow footed guys like Ryan Anderson so his foot-speed won't be much of a problem & he can rebound very well so the team won't get killed on the boards playing him at the 4.

Bull . Kyle isn't effective on offense unless he has the ball in his hands all the time. And it ain't gonna happen with Manu, Patty, and Simmons on the second five.
Dude is a scrub that doesn't fit with the rest of the team.
Our resident Fangirl is still asking Pop to call plays to get kyle going...
