Rookie Ladder
NBA.com
9 James Anderson : San Antonio Spurs
Surprisingly, the Spurs have three rookies seeing minutes, but it's Anderson who gets the early bump, thanks to a 10-point debut and by going 5-for-10 on 3-pointers through three games. Even better, Anderson helped lock down Pacers All-Star Danny Granger. "It did a lot for my confidence," Anderson said, "not only being in double figures, but just to get my feet wet and defending a guy like Granger and being able to defend him."

Blair was easily a top 10 rookie last year. If Anderson can hold his spot that would be two straight years that the Spurs have landed lottery pick talent with later picks.
On a side note, Favors with the Nets looks like the real deal. May shape up to be an impressive rookie class.
if ja keeps this up, he could make the 9-man all-star rookie team; would that be the only time in spurs history when their draft picks make consecutive appearances?
Junction James, only now rounding into form.
Stephen Jackson or Courtney Lee?
Just may be; I'm certainly hoping so.
It's music to my ears when I hear that he's scoring and defending.
Good stuff.
Thanks for posting, 228!
Why the isn't Gary Neal on that list??
I was just about to comment on that. I said to myself, "lock down defence, what game was I watching?!"
Hyperbole. He was decent though and he will get better.
Big Game James! Earn it, son!
Look at Granger's first half numbers compared to his second half numbers. Someone locked him down.
He did OK in the 2nd half. Still far from "lock down" defense, though.
b/c they always rank down newcomers (e.g. neal, splitter)Why the isn't Gary Neal on that list??
I'm a fan... heck I was a fan before the start of the season
We talkin about my boy James Lights Out Anderson. ROY tbh.
glad to hear the kid is producing
This kid has some upside and we were probably lucky to get him in the draft.
Gems like James Anderson can still be found. Look at the drafts from the past few years, there's names you hardly hear in the first round and there's names that are making a statement around the league all over the draft, 1st and 2nd rounds. Rajon Rondo was drafted one pick lower than James Anderson in his draft. What made teams want to select Quincy Douby over Rondo? , what made teams want to select Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy and Rudy Gay in that draft?
Looking at the players and the crapy teams they are playing for you know they are getting alot more minutes then Anderson. If he was playing and getting their kinda minutes I could see him being in the top four easily.
youre not able to see the games?It's music to my ears when I hear that he's scoring and defending.
especially if he were on the warriors where theyd have him out there shooting lights out! hed be scoring like crazy
John Wall if that cheating bas gets ROY over Blake it will be a travesty.
Anderson earned his spot on the list...This years rookie team is insanely talented with Griffen, Wall, Favors, Neal, Anderson, and Tiago all showing up for the season. The spurs are awesome to have found three players who could all earn a shot at the rookie team.
why do they label Griffin as a rookie?
