mix them to get one of the Sanderson witches from Hocus Pocus. They can fly.
If SA had to pick one, which and why?

Simmons.we need another guy who can create offense by penetrating and either finishing at the basket or collapsing the defense and kicking the ball out.
With the bigs we have, they can all shoot from outside, he can be a huge asset with the spacing they will create. He also seems to have a toughness to him that will serve the team well. It is definately early but I think he has thre skill set to make an impact this year.
If the Spurs had to pick one I think they would go with KA, younger with higher potential...but they don't have to pick.
Anderson.
We have at the moment NO one who's capable of playing the 3 other than Opa. Always fill roster holes. Plus, we don't know how Simmons game will transfer to the League.
True.... But we do know how andersons game translated to the league and it was historically bad.
Historically bad? Really? That's a bit of a stretch. If he was historically bad the Spurs wouldn't have brought him back. He didn't play that many minutes, because honestly, how many rookies are going to see serious time on a championship contender?
He looked lost out there and outmatched. While you don't expect all rookies to light the league on fire, he was pretty abysmal by any standard. Obviously he has room to improve but no way he is going from what he was last year to a good option as a rotation player in one years time.
Anderson. Seen him play against legit NBA talent and has even flashed some real talent when he was given the chance. Not to mention he is 4 years younger.

Because I'm bored:
Simmons fills a short term need.
Anderson I think has a higher ceiling.
What do you mean by better?
Both are different players who have different strengths and weaknesses.
You can't quantify better by strictly scoring or points. It's all about who fits the needs of the team better.
But for right now, it's hard to say.
I think Simmons defends the PnR better and he has the ability/potential to guard three positions well -- therefore I give Simmons the nod if you're looking for more perimeter defense.
Also think Simmons works the PnR better offensively and is a better spot up shooter -- which will be valuable when Manu has the keys and valuable when Manu needs to take a play off.
On the other hand, Kyle's strengths come in isolations from the high post/ mid range area-- where he can dominate his defender with his length offensively.
He's also a good rebounder for his size thanks to his length -- which should help the second unit's ability to close up defensive possessions.
However, unlike Simmons, Anderson's not a great PnR guy and he's a below average spot up shooter.
All I know is I'm happy Spurs have this compe ion going into training camp. Simmons has been a pleasant surprise and I'm sure whoever does earn the minutes will be productive in limited minutes.
The thing is, he only needs to be decent for 10-15 minutes a game. I think he can accomplish that. 10 minutes per isn't something I'd call a rotation player as his minutes can easily be gobbled once the playoff begins.
I think you seriously underestimate the strides players can make after their rookie season. This dude is barely old enough to drink.
Neither one.
20 year old rookie didn't instantly understand the Spurs offensive and defensive schemes...oh noes he's never going to make it in the NBA.
Anderson, he is younger and we already have lots of scorers.
Tbh, I doubt anderson has the skill set to be a good player in the league. I think the things he is able to be successful at on offense against less talented/skilled/athletic players in summer league and d league won't work in the NBA . He needs to become a knock down shooter to have a impact and he isn't close to that yet.
On defense, I think he will be a huge liability trying to guard the PnR. As much as I dislike his game, I hope I am wrong and that he turns into a player for the sake of the team but I don't see it at all .
Have to go with KA. I like them both and they are different players, but KA ceiling is higher, he's younger, has improved and still room to grow, could also potentially slide to play both forward positions as a stretch 4 w/ ball handling and playmaking. He's very versatile. He will end up being the better player imo. You can easily find the Simmons of the league around, but KA is pretty unique.
yep, that was the only problem
Kawhi?
A "good" player would imply he's better than average. If this were the case there would be no way to keep him as someone would grab him for a starter. I would be happy if he settles in as an average player. It would be more than adequate for someone like that to play 10-15 for us behind the best young SF in the league.
I'd rather have Rasho Nesterovic
