    Muscle weighs more than fat, so he can "rip" and put on weight.
    You rip first, then put on weight, it's common knowledge that putting up muscles under fat, limits the ability to burn fat.

    Getting leaner won't make him quicker laterally, he's too slow to defend wings in this league. Put on 30lbs, become a power forward and Diaw
    He's clearly not too slow, and the wingspan helps him a lot. Making him a pf would kill him imo.

    No need to beef up in my opinion.

    Thankfully your opinion means nothing. There's no shortage of examples throughout the years of players putting on weight as they physically mature. Its a matter of matching up the proper fitness to an appropriate amount of weight gain to maximize your athletic potential. Not to mention the obvious health and injury benefits from proper muscle training.

    The problem with simpletons like yourself is you can't think beyond the opinions of others to see that "beefing up" doesn't have to equate to counter-productive weight gain. I swear you're the dumbest ing poster here.

    No. Nando sucked. There's a ton of potential all over the league, in colleges and smaller leagues all over the world. Most of it will never be realized, and I don't know if this kid Anderson will ever pan out to anything. He could though, but Nando looked pretty good to, had crazy court vision just couldn't play a lick of defense and was basically unable to grab a spot.
    Potential is hard to gauge. I thought we saw everything Nando had to offer. I don't think we've seen that from Anderson yet. Could be wrong though...

    How can no one see the potential in this kid? Of course he's not going to be a superstar in his first year I really think a lot of you have way too many expectations of anderson. He's not very athletic but has all the tools to be a solid NBA player for a long time. He's not like a lot of players whose games require nothing but athleticism and then when they get older start to blow because they never had to use fundamentals. I love this kid and has shown me in spurts enough to know how good he will be.

    citation needed for the above.

    Also, getting leaner will make him quicker laterally, as long as he is not losing muscle. Think about it. If you are carrying 200 lbs of weight and did a timed karaoke or defensive slide drill, then did the same drill when you weighed 190, you would do it faster. F=MA. Just like he would run a 40 faster and his vertical would be higher.

    He has 4 legit NBA skills: passing, ballhandling, shooting (work in progress), and rebounding. He's also a surprise ball thief and shot blocker, using his length well. People are just stupid to judge him on a few hundred rookie minutes.

    Kyle has the ability to put the ball on the floor, take it to the rim, finish, pass and shoot the three. Those qualities alone will keep you in the NBA for a long time. Thankfully he also has a post up game and great hands on the defensive side. If we didn't already have Kawhi he would have taken on the starting SF position next year.

    He should take it as a compliment. Pop doesn't waste his wrath on scrubs.

    Didn't he get blocked a couple of times?

    I was watching and saw this guy moving in slow motion and couldn't figure out who it was. Then I heard someone say "Anderson"...and I thought, really? I thought he was still in Austin. Anyway, I know he's slow and got the slo-mo moniker...but that was ridiculous. Guys that normally shouldn't even be in the play, were catching up to him and blocking his stuff. I understand slow and in control, but there's a point where it's ridiculous. He went from slow heading towards the basket, to inanimate as he's trying to put it in. I don't think I ever understood slow, until I saw Anderson last night.

    He does look slow but you gotta give him a chance to adjust to the pace at this level. He's hardly played in actual NBA games this year.
