No one can replace 8.
Not really, you haven't read my personal posts if that is what you think.

Who is Kyle Anderson?
Love that dude, but if the Spurs thought he could be anything better than a 6th/7th man, they would have traded up (probably with Charlotte/Jazz to jump ahead of Clipnation and OKC).
If he ends up beeing the guy that backs up Kawhi for the rest of his career (meaning he gets the 13-18 minutes that Kawhi leaves on the floor), while delivering some bench playmaking (like Manu/Diaw do now) to give us freedom to play shoot first PG's alongside him (PATTY!!!!), I'm one happy camper. I think that is what his ceiling is.
Guy looks like garbage. I haven't seen him score but I've missed a couple of games...has he even scored a single basket yet?
he's a project right now, tbh... we'll know more next season or two...
He will end up where Malik Hairston and a few others ended up IMO! Late pick in the first or so and a project and probably won't ever get any major PT or turn into a player in this league. James Anderson comes to mind as well. We had some hopes for those guys but they never panned out, few ever do that late in the draft TBH.
I could be wrong though, guys like Danny Green were not supposed to be that good and even got released before but found a home on a team and fit a role well and became a key to a le team and a major player in the rotation! You find those one out of every 100 to be honest and it is rare, but they come every once in a while. I hope Kyle can turn into a player, if he has the right work ethic and drive while listening to the coach he might just make it? I doubt it but hey it can happen.
hes shooting 8% from the field and 0% from 3pt range throughout his career
the rebounds and low turnovers are the only thing that doesn't look god awful

James Anderson broke his fifth metatarsal. That can be a career killer. Roddy Beaubois of Dallas had the same injury and is also no longer in the league.
This year's draft was supposedly the best in a decade, and yet the Spurs only graded 20 players as first round talent. Kyle was one of them. I think I'll roll with RC on this one.
so far props to O_V for the good takes about KA tbh
Spurs always have to draft a unique player, but this time it was too much smartass pick, they could have draft an american athletic wing like McDaniels or Early...
Sigh.... K.J. McDaniels was on still on the board when Anderson was picked.
Pretty raw but clearly a lot of defensive talent.
Anyway, I still think he has more upside than CoJo.
Not worried here. KA is a baller, once his shot is fine tuned he's gonna be a problem.
The credited him with 1 block on the boxscore when he had 2 on the same play
Too early to tell...Spurs first rounders always get their chances on the team the whole duration of their rookie contract...George Hill, Mahinmi, James Anderson etc...KA will get his chance and hopefully develop as a rotation player.��
You're ting me? McDaniels was still on the board? He could have been a great defensive prospect for us.
Im still convinced the player we really missed out on was Damien Inglis. The kid is huge for his age, good lateral quickness and can shoot the 3.
McDaniels is putting up decent numbers on decent shooting but he's on the worst team in history, somebody has to be taking those shots AND he's playing for a contract. I'll leave my judgements until next season when he's actually on an NBA calibre team
As for Kyle Anderson, his ceiling is the Spurs Boris Diaw, as opposed to the unagressive player Diaw has been throughout his career until 2013.
I'm not even sure I'd consider Anderson a 'small ball' power forward, he's an inch taller and an inch longer than Millsap for example. He actually has pretty good measurements for a power forward, he just needs to add 30lbs
That doesn't mean he will turn out to be a player, even the good eye for talent is wrong every once in a while. They had a later pick in the draft, most don't turn out to be players in this league for very long when you think of it so it's a gamble. I do trust RC but honestly I don't know about Anderson but I could be wrong.
His ceiling isn't close to McDaniels. Before the draft I had ofsted how o wanted McDaniels over any player who didn't have the athleticism for the NBA, and they're both showing why.
I'm sure Anderson could put up some stats on the 76ers, but he wouldn't be doing what McDaniels is. And it's not just stats on a bad team, McDaniels is doing historic things.

Anderson is still someone I'd rather see on the court than Daye, but it was a big screwup, potentially as bad as passing on jimmy Butler for Corey Joseph's 'leadership'.
Boris was a great athlete in his younger years and is still is a decent one by NBA standards. KA just isn't. His slowness and lack of a shot reminds me of Nando, who other than a nice pass here or there, always looked like he had no business being on an NBA court.
plus Boris always had body strength, this toothpick KA makes Durant look like Mr T
Boris is better than jalenhttp://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...-kyle-anderson
