Was anyone expecting much out of this guy before the season started like I was? He doesn't look too impressive so far but it's nowhere near as bad as Temple or Gist.
Opinions?
I think he will fit in perfect with this team; he picks his spots well on offense, moves well on the court, and plays much better defense than I thought he would this early on (of course I didn't see him play in college or look at many of his youtube clips)
i don't think he looks bad at all. offensively, he isn't looking for his shot at all, but his stroke looks fine and he's hitting them when he's taking them at a good %. defensively, he's working hard and looking solid. he's crashing the boards too. i'm optimistic.
Not another Mahinmi for sure
I'm a big fan
If he has a good rookie season, Manu will get more rest
I'm actually impressed with Anderson considering he is working himself back into shape after a pretty nasty injury. He got good BBIQ and he is bringing some hustle. I think he's going to be good.
He moves really well without the ball for a rookie. He will get a lot of good looks, which is good for a shooter of his caliber.
TD+ TP + Hill + Manu + Splitter + Blair + Anderson + Dice + RJ
We stacked !!!!!!!
Oh wait, I forgot about Bonner
He's not flashy. He has a lot to learn. He sort of glides like Dell Curry (Stephen's dad) used to run.
One nice thing I've noticed is that James has blocked a couple of guys from beside or behind. There is a knack to doing something like that without getting called.
Oh no it's okay, Bonner plays too many minutes for us to be successful, remember?
But yeah outside of Bonner on most nights, we are a pretty stacked team with a of a better bench than last year.
I'm anxious to see how good he can be offensively. He looks like one of those guys that plays so calm and smooth that it looks like he isn't trying. His shot looks solid and I want to see him work to get more looks.
The kid is going to be fine. I can't really pick anything out that bothers me about him except the fact that he seems to be a bit timid on turning his shot loose. I didn't get to watch the last game though.
He also doesn't get that many fouls. Turnovers aren't as much of a problem as with others. George Hill, a point guard, gets more fouls than him.
He's a rookie, and spent most of the summer out of commission because of his hamstring. He's gonna have problems at first, but I really like what I've seen. He should be a very good piece for us.
I'd be surprised if he has much of an impact this season.
mas o menos
he'll likely make the team but will get very little amount of minutes < 5mpg
I like the kid, but see him as a true SG. I am still pretty stumped about the Gary Neal guaranteed contract.
Except that Pop has been playing him as a SF.
Wouldn't lose any sleep over the Neal signing since the contract is about cheap as it gets in the NBA..
Neal earned his contract in the closing seconds of a preseason game vs the Clippers.
The kid is good, but he was a bit hesitant to make his shots. In college he shot in the face of any player, from anywhere.
He is going to have confidence with time. He is still a rookie learning the system, afraid to make mistakes. Once he has confidence, he is going to be a great player.
Yeah I know. I don't think he will be able to succeed against the SFs of the NBA, especially defensively
What makes you come to that conclusion? He has the length, bulk, strength and athleticism to do as good of a job as anyone on the team. At least from what I've seen.
I was just going to say the same thing..He is actually considered a big SG by NBA standards these days. His body frame reminds me of a player like Paul Pierce, who seems to hold his own against bigger sf's. Anderson seems to be getting better and better each day out on the court. Everyone has to have patience with this kid.
I don't know if he does have enough size tbh. He has broad shoulders and looks like a strong guy but I'm not sure that's exactly the case. His athleticism is good but not great. Not saying he doesn't have the tools to be a solid defender but watching him a lot in college I know that wasn't the case. Offensively he is a great player and it pretty much ends there. Just my opinion
