The #Metu Movement

Not really. Anderson had a number of good games in SA, and his offensive analytics were pretty good (was a top iso scorer in the league for a couple years). The blocks and steals transferred too. A guy like Ledbetter being competent or Blossomgame dominating are better examples, because they just didn't have the ability to get those shots off in the NBA.

I agree with John B here that I instantly thought of the disparity when I saw how many different things Chim was able to do. A lot of that is the talent level of the defense, but a non-negligible amount of it is that Metu went into this knowing he was the gameplan rather than just been tossed in for clean-up duty. When the coaching is designed for you to get shots in your spots, and you're told to be aggressive, it can make a big difference.

We need not only his offense, but more importantly his length also on chasing block shots. I would love for him to be a lockdown defender

It probably also helped Metu that he didn't have Patty pointing him to the wrong side of the court.

I also noticed he was playing the 4 in austin. Unlike with the big club where pop played him at the 5 a lot.

That game was torture to watch-- especially the first half before the Magic decided to stop playing good defense. Gonna be awhile before Metu can really contribute at an NBA level.

Recalled. Maybe someone is sitting out tonight?
