$7MM is a little more than I would ideally like to pay in this FA market. I think it is very tight for guys like Kyle - in a shot-makers' league.
I hope we keep him. Solid regular season guy and 15-18 MPG guy in the playoffs. Not his fault that he was asked to do too much because of Kawhitter and couldn't hold his own against Durbeta. I still haven't given up on him developing a decent corner 3PT shot either, lock him up long-term now and if he develops that shot mid-contract he'd be giving us great value.
He's a scrub.
good point
no he is a pg ala ben simmons........he is being misused ala pop turning a tenacious rebounder like dejuan blair into a jump shooter ala mcdyese
proof
I don't care if he sometimes strips ballhandlers due to his length after getting blown by. If you can't keep up with mobile players or shoot in today's league, you're already at a disadvantage.
Doesn't help that he's a nutless, fatheaded freak too.
Except his passing isn't that great and that he'll opt to either passing it off and hiding on the wing, or do a series of dribble moves that end up going nowhere. He sucks.
Defense is overrated in today's NBA. If you can't score you're screwed.
Kyle is more comfortable as a PG as previously noted, and could create nice periods of mismatches that we could take advantage of. We do have too many point guards and need to thin the heard a bit. Now with a real shooting guard joining the team the option of using Kyle as a point guard or point forward for brief stretches can become a real option.
He is a great team defender. Always in good position, knows how to use his length. He really only gets blown by if it's an absolutely elite offensive player, and again it's stupid to expect him to hold his own against the Durbetas or Hardens of the world.
Real Plus-Minus Wins, the ulative version of the rate stat had Kyle Anderson and the 36th most valuable NBA player in 2017-2018. #35 Ricky Rubio, #37 Andre Drummond.
By rate stats, Kyle was a negative on offense (-0.08) but the 16th best defender (3.20). #15 Eric Moreland, #17 Victor Oladipo.
That stat tells me we should try to keep him. But it also tells me he shouldn't be started or playing with another guy who can't shoot (Murray).
He is a solid player. It’s just hard to appreciate him when the entire team lacks athleticism. Put him out there with high flying athletes and he becomes a more palatable player. He does have to shoot more and from 3
Yep. Spurs desperately need guys who can put the ball in the basket efficiently.
Love his versatility, just wish he could improve that jumper.
Nah, he’s wayy too slow for that role. Not sure if you’ve noticed but Ben Simmons is pretty fast with the ball and that helps him a lot. Kyle gets beat to his spot often.
Well, I like his game and there is always a $48/50M deal from the Spurs in the offseason...After Patty and Pau, it's Kyle's time now.
He's a ing dumpster. LOL @ all you scrubs trying to put lipstick on a pig
Not close to the same scenarios, so that won't happen.
Dude, quit pretending that ANYTHING you say is worth two s to anyone in here
Couldn't be further from the truth, got
Most posters always agree with what I have to say. It's always the ones who no one has ever heard of, like yourself, that get their balony nipples twisted by my posts though. Sorry I don't jack PATFO and the scrubs off like your wife does the lawn cutter guy, man.
We'll see..
I am fine, been busy, and interest waned after the Spurs lost, which is kinda expected. I barely watched the rest of the playoffs, (just a game or sections of a game here or there).
I checked in to get news on Kiwi (and it apparently doesn't look good)...
As for Kyle, I expected him to move on after this season but it's really tough to tell. I kinda expected Danny to look for a long term deal in FA too, and it turns out he's opting in, so I can't say how this one goes.
Same here about interest. I caught a snippet of a game or two after the Spurs bowed out. Didn't even watch all of their games, tbh.
Kyle will be back; I have always thought so. Beyond his improving confidence/play, his importance to Pop in a locker room full of upheaval is becoming greater by the day.
