Just because he is slow and fat like Dias doesn't mean he has the same ability
Where is this passing ability from Anderson ppl speak of? I think because they knew he was a pg, it warped their brain into thinking he is a good passer...Nothing these past couple years has shown he he is any more capable of high level passing than any other player on the team not named manu
Just because he is slow and fat like Dias doesn't mean he has the same ability
Blah ah blah
Seriously. Just look at his assist ratio etc. Ast/TO ratio, look at his rebounding, you can look at his stats and confirm that you are just a hate troll.
I'm not a huge Anderson fan by any means, but I want some of whatever these people are smoking who think Bertans is exponentially more playable than Kyle.Blah ah blah

I have given up on debating about Kyle bc the hate is really subjective and not going to go away, but Kyle started 14 games some in Kawhi's stead, and a bunch if other games last year. Sure he has to improve aggression etc, but he has played so many roles and very little of the ones he does best. Can't ask someone to be consistent with no defined role who is playing off the ball. He's still developing, just 23 years old. I have no doubts in another team he would get at least bench rotation minutes. He's a solid player:Pop's words.
I have no desire to debate Davis either. He's got a lot less experience in Pop's system and is simply a terrific shooter who will hopefully break out next season.
I like him too and I want to see him play well, but yeah to assume he's going to be a starter when he was mostly benched against GSW is a long shot. Not going to read too much into it, but it's a huge leap to assume he's starting too.
What I think will happen Is that Pop finds a rim rolling C to start with LAMARCUS, but unlike last season, next season he may be more willing to play perimeter lineups more if he's opened his horizons and his mind more and it seemed by his end f season comments that he indeed intends to b more flexible. We shall see.

He's improved his 3 point percentage by 5% every season. If he makes the same progress this summer he'll be at 42% next year.
Kyle's biggest problem offensively is just being too passive but I think that has a lot to do with Pop.
What the difference betwwen a Center and a PF in the Spurs offense? Nothing I can see, TBH.. Even more, as Pau played more as a perimeter, stretch 5 guy.
With him it's not as much as the % (though important) as it is actually attempting them. His attempts have been virtually the same the last 2 seasons.
He just has to be comfortable catching and shooting at times, and not thinking 2x imo. I know he can do other things, but this team needs shooters
You brought up a valid point about floor spacing with the Murray, Green, Leonard, Anderson, LMA SL.
Murray is a sketchy shooter, as is Anderson (though I don't think it is nearly as big of a deal if he is a PF).
There are two options that would solve the lack of spacing regarding the starting lineup.
start Mills instead of Murray, or start Bertans instead of Anderson
Mills, Green, Leonard, Anderson, LMA
Murray, Green, Leonard, Bertans, LMA
Both units have three high volume, high percentage shooters with Anderson or Murray serving as wild cards from 3.
Murray's form actually looked pretty good last season and he shot 39% (9-23) on 3's
Anderson shot 37.5% (15-40) from 3, more importantly he shot 12-29 from the corners (41.4%)
Teams are going to leave Anderson open on corner 3's (which is currently the only type of 3's he should be taking he is 28-66 for his career from the corners during the RS 42% 3PT)
while opposing 4's are going to sag off when he is spotting up from there, as long as he continues shoot well from there, while also increasing his attempts he and the offense should be fine. Think Tony Parker; teams never really guarded him from the corners but he would consistently knock down 40% from the corners.
For example; Anderson plays 24 mpg, takes 1.2 3pt (all from the corner, doubling his attempts from last season) attempts per game while hitting 37.5% that's 1.368 Points Per Shot which is above average.
It's on Pop to add more motion to the offense which would also help utilize Anderson's play-making ability. I would also like to see him have more freedom by being able to bring the ball up the floor after grabbing defensive rebounds.
Would be my preferred lineup assuming that we don't get CP3 or Hill
Mills-Green-Leonard-Anderson-Aldridge
Murray-Simmons-Hanga (or FA)-Bertans-Lee
U guys are tripping about Kyle...It isnt in his nature to be aggressive... he has been in the league for years and cant shoot...He He gets dribbling violations, and is an an passer at best...Im tired of seeing our offense go to when he is in
He insist's on shooting while he is on the way down 90% of his shot attempts.
I get it, he's doing that backyard thing where it's 5 4 3 2 1...
He likes to get the defender airborne and then outlast him and shoot it over defender while he himself is going down.
Looks very cool when it works, and he has hit a ton also. But he's missed two tons.
Stop that silly now.
He also can hit the corner three. When he just goes up and shoots normal style.
Anderson shot 37.5% (15-40) from 3, he shot 12-29 from the corners (41.4%) last season
He is 28-66 for his career from the corners during the RS 42% 3PT
The problem isn't that he can't shoot, it's that he doesn't shoot more. He took one 3 for every 25 minutes he was on the floor last season
If the league is gonna continue to call the game and makes rules that make big men irrelevant, then they should just eliminate the PF and C positions, and just play 3 on 3.
No, just dont play the traditional big man. Your 4 and 5 either need to abuse people from the low block or be able to pass and drive. Pop insistance on playing lma and pau and their ty contribution proves what i have been saying since mcdyess
