truest signal of a lost argument
KA brings a better leadership presence, he's still a high bbiq player, plays within himself and is still a better passer than simmons. Being at 6'9 he can play PF as well so he has a bit more position flex than Simmons. His shot is still improving and his ability to constantly draw fouls is good. He has mismatch potential unlike Simmons. I guess I'm on that KA bandwagon I just feel like he's gonna do really good things for our bench this year.
read any book regarding speed or quickness. funny that you followed up your previous post with this gem.
It was never an argument, but I understand if you need assurance of gender to where you have to come on a sports forum to stroke your mini ego. Have fun with that.
Simmons seems to me like a more comfortable player out there.
When you see Anderson play it makes me think as if he is unsure of what he is going to do.
Basketball seems more simple to Simmons, i dont think he is "better" but rather than he seems to know what to do more often than Kyle.
Simmons is older, so he may have better practice of controlling his expressions than Anderson. He also looks more comfortable when Anderson is on the floor. They both have a nice upside for the Spurs.
Simmons definitely looks like an NBA player. He has an incredible array of skills. Now, he's not a master of any of them, but for a role player? He really doesn't have any glaring holes (especially if his 3PT shot is legit).
Simmons strikes me as a Tony Allen type (but with worse defense and better offensive game). His energy and ability should bode well when surrounded with 4 other NBA level players.
KA is more talented I think overall, but a harder piece to fit in a bench role IMO. But I think it's pretty clear from what I have seen that Simmons is an NBA level role player - both in skill set & athleticism but obviously nothing is guaranteed or proven yet. We shall see - it's exciting as though.
A broken mop is better than Anderson.
Tony Allen type I can agree with, but I don't get the Tony Allen comparisons in terms of ability.
This would have been an interesting poll thread.
Was more about the way he moves, his athleticism & mindset. Not really comparable in terms of skills since they are basically opposites, but that energy/mindset and bounce he has reminds me of a Tony Allen. Not sure he can be anywhere close to the defender TA is though.
I think you're confused about the distinction between pessimism and realism.
Hi pot, meet kettle. I think y'all have something in common.
I remember reading a scouting report on Anderson a year ago in which the report stated Anderson was basically a 6'9 Andre Miller. The more I watch Anderson play the more I feel that report was pretty accurate. Just like Miller he is very slow offensively but is still effective. Keep in mind Miller scored 50 points in a game a few years ago and all the moves he did in that game was slow but super effective.
posting as usual I see.

While Miller wasn't a "speedster" by any stretch...him being "slow" was always exaggerated. He was always pegged that way only relative to other pgs that were more quick...but make no mistake...Miller was PLENTY nba fast. Anderson by any way and any league is slow. Also Miller was incredibly fluid in his movement...Anderson is extremely awkward with his. Miller and Pierce are more akin to one another...as in they were "slower" but only by comparison to others in their respective positions. But their movement was incredibly fluid and still allowed them to get wherever they wanted. Anderson is slow and awkward under any and all cir stances.
Rather have pre-injury James Anderson
Rather have Anderson. Just feel Simmons will end up like Alonzo Gee. He might find some NBA production, but not till he is on another team.
Anderson seems to have that quality already. What he doesn't have is the accuracy to consistently take advantage once he's there.
Once KA gets his shot down he'll be deadly. He'll be like Jared Dudley with creation abilities. And I no longer see him totally blown up by screens.
Both are having a good summer league. Hope it translates to the NBA.
I'm partial to Simmons because he can take it to the rack AND pass. KA can pass too but can't get inside the defense like Simmons
Yep. A broken mop soaked in molasses, that is.
Simmons is better than Anderson. He's the better all around player. He's the better all around athlete. Anderson reminds me of what pop thought bonner should be, Simmons reminds me of what pop thought Bogans should be.
