Kyle Anderson has finally become the assertive player the Spurs wanted him him to be

[GAustex]

He has finally turned into the player I thought he could be. He suffered from a shoulder injury that had progressively gotten worse to the point he needed surgery and rehab two seasons ago. As he had never gotten to shoot well enough up to that point I remember thinking “well, that’s probably it for him/his shot.” Took him a long time to rehab from that injury and predictably, he didn’t have a good shooting season upon his return. I saw an interview he gave last season where he said he wasn’t 100% ready to play and it showed on his shot (not good). This season, he’s finally healthy and more aggressive with his shot.

I know there’s some fans here that never liked him, but it is what it is. He’s the kind of player you either like or hate. He’s so crafty and smart, plus unusual, very interesting player.

Anyways, I am really happy to see him playing well for the Grizzlies. They have a fun team to watch and he’s helped them out a lot this season with Jaren Jackson missing so much of it (and only just coming back).

As for the question about going after him, it depends on what kind of team the Spurs are fielding. With an improved shot I think he’d fit in right now and could be starting for the current Spurs ...

Imma thinking that hug he gave Becky when they won summer league is why ur fondness for KA.

He'll be ideal if the Spurs are looking to tank next season, but otherwise, you can have bench warmers for much cheaper, tbh...

[TimDunkem]

Cool. It only took 7 years for him to go from "meh" to "eh?!".

[RC_Drunkford]

we have enough 12/6 players who shoot 35% from 3. We need better players than that

[ElNono]

lmao, this is from tonight...

[DAF86]

That's fair, and I wish the minutes were adjustable instead of "36" or "48" being universal is my point. If you could use per 28 for Kyle instead, for example, it gives a better insight on how much improved he is.



I have no issue with Kyle being improved.



Not this again. Feel free to think however you like about me being anti-stats.

"Per 28" would pretty much be "per game".

Wasn't Kyle's fault. Can't blame him for his teammates doubling that midget Argentine.

[DAF86]

The Spurs need volume 3pt shooters that aren't defensive liabilities. Kyle has only one of those things going for him, tbh.

nobody is doubling the midget. He's guarding nobody, he's not helping, he's ball watching, and his flat footed ass not even pretending to even try to run out to the shooter.

You can argue it's not his fault that the shooter is wide open. Everything else is fathead being fathead, tbh

[timtonymanu]

Wasn't his dad acting like a lowkey version of Uncle Dennis? Doesn't sound like he would come back here, unless I'm getting players mixed up. Either way, I'm still so-so on him, not a game changer for us.

Wrong statement since you know Anderson can (or could, when he was a Spur) be blame for many things, but not for his defense.

That's the point.

[DAF86]

That's the point.

Well, just use the raw nambers then.

Well, just use the raw nambers then.

You're missing the point, bud. Read the first page.

[K...]

For kyle it's only fair to use stats by forehead diameter. Otherwise his stats look too good in comparison to small heads.

hmmm

I’ll allow it

In before Kyle’s #1 fan girl...
