I like the pick..hope the Spurs trade Parker...Tim and Antonio should retire...let the young guys take over.

Do you want the #1 overall pick next year. this team has life in it still. tim wins 1 for the thumb.

[spurstd4]

OMG..TIM??? Is that really u..sorry man..just da way I feel..maybe u can replace Sean at the mike...

these are the type of fans that ruin it for me as a spurs fan. we heard from this type of fan all year long wahh wahh. i bet you were back on the wagon when spurs beat the mavs as soon as the spurs lost to the suns back to the cry baby stuff. and i get it your en led to your opinion, but if your fan you should be damn proud of the team we have. spurs would not have any have championships if not for tim duncan. so as far as i am concerned he could play in a wheelchair with a flat tire and his old balls dragging on the floor till he decides to ride off in the sunset.

[LegendaryFan44]

I forgot how opposing opinions are with u sensitive types...ok..Tim can stay...10-15 minutes per game MAX.

[LegendaryFan44]

Guys..never off the bandwagon..been on it since 76-77..back when the Celts beat the Spurs in the dreaded mini series..u cant tell me anything I dont know...I am harsh I admit..thats the way it is.

i tell you one thing it just amazes me is that your too stupid to notice how good you got as a spurs fan. you sound like the spurs are finishing below .500 with no playoffs. 50 wins for 11 SEASONS straight. how many times did that happen since 76-77? oh i forgot with 4 championships. i'm not sensitive, just loyal to the player who took the spurs to those championships.

Against Kansas, a lot of the highlights are Anderson's (23), he's a BEAST!!

[Russ]

He does seem to have at least a lot of potential on that end, a March article from http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...Anderson-5106/ said that his defense was his in the armor but time will tell.

DraftExpress and NBADraft.net seem to have a divergence of opinion on Anderson's D. Here's a quote from NBADraft.net:

... Has the skill set of a lockdown defender with his lateral quickness, length and dedication to the defensive side of the ball ...

So the two best NBA draft sites seem to disagree.

[austN Spur]

Anderson has 31 with 12 rebounds against ranked baylor in this game with highlights after the short commercial.

lakaluva, is that you?

[Agloco]

Bruce Bowen with a better J?

Whoah there.......

[Interrohater]

Whoah there.......

How about a modern-day, albeit shorter and in a different position, Sean Elliott?

Or rather, the same role that Sean had for us while he was here. Energy, pinpoint accuracy, the combined ability of an outside shot with the quick first step, and wiry frame that's perfect for perimeter defense.

Of course, it's very early, so even I don't believe it yet, and I said it.

[mingus]

i know nothing about the college game. hope he can be good for this team and at least fill the much needed need for 3-point shooing.

Some one had a good comparison and I hope its true, a James Harden type. Right handed that is.

The way he shoots off curls and screens a bit of a Ray Allen type.

Heres hoping *crosses fingers*

[TDMVPDPOY]

whats his wingspan and vertical?

those alley oop dunks, looks like he barely has any above the rim game

[westbound17]

We need him, don't send James to Toros..or that's suicide!

[Interrohater]

Another pre-draft piece that I hadn't seen posted:

Strengths: A pure pathological scoring machine, by any means necessary he is getting the ball in the hoop. Has the ability to draw fouls while penetrating, with several head fakes and getting to the charity stripe at a high rate. I'm not really sure if it's a good or bad thing, but he has a gunner's mentality. A great shooter with great release and follow through, and has what you call, "shoot from the parking lot range". Nice solid frame that can absorb contact at the next level. He does a good job hunting for a open shot, such as coming off screens, fads, and simply being patient, he knows the offense goes through him. Not a freak athlete, but does have a nice set of springs. During the season against K-State, Anderson received the pass on the baseline and threw down a man like dunk, that is a testament of what he can do. Had a great career torching the Big Twelve.

Weaknesses: Forces bad shots when he is frustrated, and shoots off balance at times. Puts in the effort on defense, but gives up to much separation guarding his man. This goes back to his gunner's mentality, he needs to pick his spots during the course of the game, and get teammates more involve.

Outlook: Superior scorer deluxe is whats on his menu. Plug him into a NBA line up, and he will produce. If drafted by the right team, Anderson should score enough to be among the top rookies, and possibly a top league scorer in the future, he is just that good.

Ooops. Just read the post from Interrohater.

Disregard.

I like what a lot of the profiles say about his confidence. One said that he has "no conscience" and another said that he has a "gunner's mentality." In many cases, I would probably consider these negatives, as you don't want a guy that goes off the reservation and fires up bad shots.

However, with this established Spurs team, I don't think Anderson is going to come in here with any kind of illusion that he is "the man," no matter what squad we put out there with him.

Rather, that confidence may be the only way he can effectively play a role that the Spurs need him to play, which is hitting the open shot when called upon to do so, both in the regular season and into the playoffs, maybe even in his rookie year.

[mingus]

heard he had a weakness handling the ball... obviously, as a guard, that's going to hurt your stock and it's prob. one of the big reasons he was drafted where he was. the main thing is that his role potentially with the Spurs won't really requier him to be much of a play-maker. if he can do the other things he asked of like defend (which apprently he's not very good at) and hit the 3 (supposed to be very good here), then he'll fit well at the sg position. b/w Hill and Manu, i'm not sure how much time he'll get at that position though.

I can see him playing really well with Dejuan and Hill out on the floor when we go small. Hill playing pick and roll with Dejuan and both having the option to kick out to a wide open shooter that can actually hit the long range shot? maybe our bench can actually have the firepower that they should have had last year.

[pookenstein]

I like the pick.

You should have stopped after this.
