I think Simmons is better in a vacuum right now, but Anderson has much more room to grown. I definitely don't think the Spurs have to worry about their fourth-wing spot right now, though. May as well go ahead and sign Eddie to keep it going.
I hope the both stay healthy so that the have a good fight for position. Spurs problems.

Is this going to replace is Manu greater then tp
Tp greater then Manu debate
You really think it's worth going even further over the tax and losing flexibility with that 15th spot to sign Eddie?
Manu hasn't been better than TP since like 08' . Were you guys debating that here? Manu had a few really good years but TP was really good for a really long time.
I would REALLY not want to give Eddie guaranteed money. But I do think having three VERY different players to choose among for that fourth wing spot would be beneficial. Imagine the spacing of a Mills/Ginobili/Eddie/West/Diaw lineup.
I think Eddie still needs a year or so to develop his game, but considering though how deadly he appears to be, he absolutely should be signed.
Let' him figure out the rest of his game.
Isnt eddie a worse version of bellineli? I mean we all hated marcos defense, what more for Eddie.
Anderson getting mvp pretty much dictates whos the better player...well at least to professionals. For someone who is "more athletic or better offensively" did he ever outscore Anderson?
So Durant and Curry are better than Lebron because they got the last 2 mvps![]()
Summer League mvp means jack . Last year's mvp played a grand total of 5 games in the NBA in 2015 and was quickly waived. I don't think Kyle will do that badly but he's got an uphill battle to make it in the real league with his tier athleticism.
I'm confused because on one hand KA is a basketball genius in the making (look at the pass he makes to Simmons in the first footage of the Simmons video of last game) vs, in Simmons, an even better than Gary Neal like surprise, with better D, better size, and better drive and dunkability.
He doesn't take as many shots as Anderson.
Nobody discussing how it will translate to regular season its only about one player vs another. So goin by the facts and not the glitz n glam in the limited time they played together have to go with ka.
I think with Simmons being a better shooter and defender he fits the team better. I like Anderson, and it's impossible to say who is the better player, because their games are different. It just seems like those two skills Simmons has really helps his chances.
Who has a better chance at making it in the league: Anderson or Marjanovic?
This deserves its own separate thread tbqh. Excellent question.
Anderson.
Marjanovic has a very small window to become a relevant NBA player because of how teams utilize the PnR and spacing. I just don't see him as a long term stick in the league because of his inability to move laterally. Being that he's 26, he'll only regress from an athletic standpoint from here on out.

And, in another thread, evidence of a previous broken foot has emerged. He's on the perfect team for milking his body for what it's worth with minute management, but big guys and their feet, hearts, knees, etc. Longevity is unlikely. I saw him in flip flops/ sandals in one picture, and made me a little upset they didn't have him in custom shoes, but what do I know.
In terms of longevity, I wold say Anderson without a doubt. Doesn't jump that high so he's going to be spared a lot of pounding.
Simmons body takes a lot of pounding, so it's hard to tell how long he can last.
Marjanovic, maybe he'll last as long as Yao Ming... but that is not very long. Although, some of these bigs last a long time, Kevin Willis played until he was 44.
This is a good point. I had not considered it. Boban's limitations means he's a situational player meant to play against certain matchups. He has a niche. In that niche he could thrive. Pop is so good at asking guys to do what they do well. I like Anderson a lot and I think he would be so versatile as to play different styles and be a handful and a headache. He is so unorthodox in his style that it throws ppl off balance. Hopefully, he'll be around a lot longer and have the better career.
Great game by Simmons tonight.
