Kyle Anderson Named Summer League MVP

[littlecoyotecoin]

Was McCallum last year's Summer League MVP?

Yes. Pretty sure he was.

Good job beating guys that will be playing in the Dominican Republic league. I have converted and now see Kyle's greatness.

[lefty]

2 great signings, now this

[100%duncan]

I find it odd that they give out the SLMVP before the final game is played.

Theres also a fmvp iirc

[BatManu20]

"playmaker" with 1.5 assists.

the assist count would be higher if the Spurs weren't playing two Make-a-Wish Foundation players like Cherry and Atkins tbh.

[Richie]

McCallum was the championship game MVP, Glen Rice Jr was the MVP

[HI-FI]

Very cool and well deserved. I like his game a lot.

[baseline bum]

Damn, nice job. I thought they were going to give it to Curry's brother for chucking a million shots.

Well deserved, tbh.

Best summer league showing (ignoring Salt Lake City) by a Spurs player since Tony Parker (not counting Kawhi's cameo). Simmons' performance is top ten -- if not top five.

Better than this guy's 2002 summer league showing?

[SAGirl]

Thank you

Most of the guys in the starting lineup he plays with can't make a shot. Even when he makes good passes they end up in bricks. There is worse. Some teammates have very bad hands (worse than Ayers) and can't handle a pass well. Obviously this SL team needs him to score and that is what coaches want from him for the SL.

Well now we just Simmons to win the FMVP tomorrow so we have 3 Summer League MVPs.

[baseline bum]

This is why Buford went from "we need a veteran wing next" to "F it, who has Bonner's number?", tbh.

So Kyle is looking like a legit NBA player?

That's just excessive for a short exhibition league. It takes away from what little luster a SLMVP would have as well.

Simmons vs. Anderson is the new Kawhi vs. Parker

It's summer league man... it's all we have

Don't be so sure.

Oh no, I can just imagine someone making a thread tomorrow about who has the better beard.

[SnakeBoy]

I can just see the threads coming...

fathead is hogging the ball
if only fathead would pass to Simmons

Can't wait for the "playsimmons" account to pop up when/if KA wins the 4th wing spot in the rotation

Wow OMG, that is literally what will happen. Ppl will stop short of calling for Manu to be benched and Simmons put in, can you see that one too?

If Manu continues to regress at the rate he has been, I could see people calling for Manu to not play at all..... regardless of possible replacements.

Lol at everyone who said dude wouldn't make the team after one summer league game

I'm guessing you missed the entire 2014-2015 NBA season... His start to SL was just a continuation of a very poor NBA season showing.

be ok

Wow - what a turn around for Kyle Anderson! He was terrible in basically every way in Utah. And it wasn't an isolated thing either as he was very bad during the NBA season last year (although quite good in Austin).

The biggest change? Hes making shots. His last bad shooting night was the last game in Utah when he went 2-12. Since then hes been at or around 50% every night. I really feel like the fact that hes getting results on the offensive end has just brought his whole confidence level around. He now looks calm and composed whereas he was scared and lost in Utah. Quite a change.

I'm really hoping he can play like this at the NBA level. I'm going to reserve total judgment until I see him put together some consistency against better compe ion. After last year it's only prudent. But after a shaky start he had about as good of a summer league as could be imagined. Cheers Kyle!

Better than George Hill?
