Kyle "Turd" Anderson

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind too. Still it is an improvement over letting a fossil like Pierce and a non-factor on offense like Mbah A Moute outplay him.

Baby steps, I guess. I just don't think we should see baby steps at this point in the season.

[100%duncan]

Every thread criticizing him is a troll thread

[Hoops Czar]

I have a feeling my Kyle Anderson posts won't be bumped for quite some time.

If Kobe is the worst player in the league, what does that make fat head?

[dabom]

Kobe had a throw back game on a rondo type shooter.

Got to give Kyle some love...He did have a nice offensive game tonight....

[steeledl]

Really embarrassing offensive performance for ka.... His insecurities were on full display. They didn't guard this guy and he wouldn't shoot .

Did we watch the same game...

[Kawhitstorm]

Looked pretty ordinary against D-League talent

[spursistan]

He hasn't done himself any favors in Manu absence..Looks like Butler will be taking those spot minutes in playoff rotation..

At least he's getting exposed in the regular season, it'll prevent the Beno fiasco from occurring yet again.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah he scored 14pts... 6 layup/dunks and 1 basket in garbage time

[ceperez]

Hesitant shooting the ball, but overall a decent game by Anderson. 7-14 shooting is still good, he also got 3 assists and 2 steals. One of those was a key assist to Mills to seal the game.

I like the fact that he's getting a lot of exposure. He played Bryant well enough defensively.

I'm genuinely curious as to what you guys expect from the very last pick in the first round… tbh. Do you expect him to be a 20 and 10 guy who is also a lockdown defender?

I mean the guy obviously has his flaws, and is limited due to his athletic ability, or lack thereof, particularly on defense, but it seems like no matter what KA does, ST will piss and moan about it.

He actually had a pretty decent game overall tonight. Shot 50% from the floor on 7/14 shooting, and had some rebounds. assists, and a couple steals. He scored one of the daggers at the end with his finger roll.

Only real negative tonight was his inability to hit the outside shot, which he obviously needs to continue to work on.

I'm expecting him to sit his ass on the bench in crunch time instead of Green, expecting Butler to be ahead of him in the rotation, expecting him to at least have average bball IQ... But we can't have everything.

Kyle did pretty good again tonight. Kid continues to impress...in his own slo-mo way

You really hit the nail in the head. He helped us in this win. Some guys just have really unrealistic expectations or are just hatemongering bc they have to...
apparently TP vs. Kawhi is not en vogue right now bc Kawhi is recovering from injury... so they have to hate on someone else.

Firmly on the CoJo development path

You must be blind. If there is any reason that he's in the court for 29 minutes is because he has a good basketball IQ. Inexperienced but with a very good natural feel of the game.

Dedicated to all those 'blind' detractors:

Last night at the end of the first half Kyle was 4 of 6 and had played a good floor game. It is true that he turned down shots with which he was not comfortable that, in an ideal world, he would have taken and made. (Perhaps next season after more work with Chip...)

After the third quarter he was 5 of 12 and had not played as well. In the 4th quarter he put his poor showing in the 3rd behind him and played very well, including a strong drive to the hole for a big basket in crunch time. He finished the game 7 of 14, meaning he went 2 of 2 in the 4th. Good game overall for a developing young player.

I love this dude, but the first basket is a LeBron like travel...

[Spurtacular]

I don't think I've seen a player do a better job of making Kobe look like an all star this season. Even the all stars playing virtually no defense couldn't do that.
