I think it will be Anderson as well for the following:
1) adjusting to speed/size/skill/length of season in NBA
2) coming off injury
3) adjusting to being effective coming off the bench
As happy as I would be to say that everyone will prosper this season, it is logical to believe that one or more young player on the squad will either slump from their rookie year or have trouble gelling into the O and D sets.
My question for this thread is which Spur will struggle the most throughout the season, and why?
In my guesstimation it will be James Anderson due to his inactive offseason and injury rehab. No one really knows what to expect from him defensively, and the long season could wear on a rookie's moral if he starts out slow. No matter what I don't see it being near Mason Jr. bad so don't freak out.
Cheers

Tiago for the first few months, Bonner for the last few.
It is fact that Matt Bonner will struggle because it is impossible for him not to given his skill-less game.
bonner wont struggle. its just reality. he is going to play normal. unless jefferson becomes ray allen look for him to struggle.
I would say Matt Bonner but he always struggles, so I don't think he counts.

LOL at even mentioning Bonner. The equivalent of saying CarrotTop isn't going to win an Oscar.
Duncan will struggle with age
Manu will struggle with staying healthy
Parker will struggle with loyalty
Tiago will struggle with English
Blair will struggle with being undersized
Bonner will struggle with confidence
Neal will struggle with temptation
RJ will struggle with his sexuality
Gee/Temple will struggle with lack of playing time
Exactly why I said it is fact...
If you feel that strongly, you should start a thread.
Of the new or returning players, I think Neal and Jefferson will fail to meet expectations the most. I think Splitter and Anderson will not amaze, but they will be able to contribute to solid roles as rookies ala Blair.
Anderson knows how to score, and seems to have the tools to defend. As long as he brings his shot with him, he'll be fine. Splitter already showed a taste of what he can do at the World Championships.
I'm yet to be convinced that Jefferson can fit in this system, and Neal is a small fish going into a big pond, so he's got his work cut out for him.
Matt Bonner will just continue being Matt Bonner. Whatever that is worth.
I'll go out on a limb and say RICHARD JEFFERSON
I would say Splitter for the first 4 months or so. And Anderson as he will be given no playing time.
Bonner will suck in the PO as usual, but i just canīt see that as a struggle anymore, itīs the way he is.
I just hope itīs not Jefferson again.
Gary Neal
Italy just isn't the NBA. The size, speed and length of the NBA game are going to seriously test him.
I don't think it'll be RJ......I don't think Tiago will be as impressive as people think, Maybe Duncan's numbers take a hit with the addition of Splitter and if Blair's minutes go up a bit.
<------
Shocking!
You and Walton still inviting RJ over for brunch tomorrow? My wife has a good bunt cake recipe if you are interested.
Blair
It depends on how much is expected out of them. I expect Anderson to hit the rookie wall at some point.
The most realistic is McDyess since he doesnt really give his all in the regular season any way. The most obvious is Matt Bonner. He'll have games where he goes 6-7 from the 3 pt line and games where playoff Bonner shows up.
I hope Blair and Tiago dont struggle.
I use to say RJ but Pop has said alot of good things about him this summer, I'm not so sure anymore.
We dont have any 2 year contract players right now that play well their first year and suck their second year (Mason, Udoka).
Most likely James Anderson, he's been out for 3 1/2 months with a hamstring injury. I was really hoping to see him play but I think his minutes will be limited. I just hope he doesn't suck too bad when he plays, he was a beast at OSU but with all those months of inactivity I think he's going to struggle.
This was funnies.
Ummmm.... IDK maybe Dice bc hes like 50
Oh, it's a gay joke . . . ha . . . ha . . . "bundt cake recipe" . . . classic.
