Good thing Danny Green is starting to find his 3ball shot a bit lately or this thread would have been called 'Simmons or Green - Who is better?'
It's been Simmons more consistently this year. Both obviously play limited, but from the sample size, it's been Simmons.
He seems to make things happen more often than KA does, and his ability to collapse the D with his driving ability is a big plus. KA has the ability to be a better all around player probably, but I feel Simmons has earned the back up 3 role for the season

Anderson needs to work on his three and take them. He is losing millions of dollars by passing up wide open jumpers.
Shaun Livingston rarely attempts 3s, if anything Kyle needs to work on his fadeaway & focus on defense.
Danny has had ONE good 3 point shooting game in the past SIX game, meanwhile Simmons has had 3 straight solid games.
Shaun livingston is also an athletic quick 6'7 pg despite his injury not to mention hes elite in the post. I dont really think you can compare the 2.
True. I'm not sold that Danny has broken out of his slump yet either....Danny has had ONE good 3 point shooting game in the past SIX game
Are you suggesting we should get S Llivingston? What are you willing to give up for him?
I wanted the Spurs to get Livingston after he proved what he could do with the Brooklyn Nets. However, I think Anderson plays the same kind of game as Livingston.
I agree with this. He missed another corner one against the Bucks. He absolutely needs that as part of his game.
That's cool, but my main question is what would you be willing to give up for him?
What im saying is ka is nowhere near being a shaun livingston player
Great piece from Pounding the rock on this very subject: http://www.poundingtherock.com/2016/...-kyle-anderson
I actually wanted Livingston too after his stint with the Nets. I wonder if the Spurs were interested?
Anderson is proving that his slow defensive techniques may be better than I thought, probably due to his long reach. He sometimes catches up and is able to hinder the offensive player as he goes for the layup.
That being said, Simmons is getting a lot more minutes because he's faster, more athletic, and despite his lack of experience and mistakes, seems better on offense and defense. Even when his drives into defensive traffic fail, he can usually get a shooting foul called.
Both are passing up open 3s, but I lay that to rookie deferring to the vets as much as anything.
Very interesting article. Thanks for the link. I like both of these guys. I hope Kyle comes around and Simmons continues to grow. Their skills are so dissimilar that I think they might coexist in the post-Manu future. But I don't see Pop giving both guys burn at the same time in important game situations this season. Will he start to really tilt toward Simmons, or will Kyle get more time next game? Stay tuned.
Simmons probably won't play next game tbh.... Pop always ing with these guys heads and testing their toughness when they are young .
Anyone with an eye for talent knows Simmons has and will always be the better option.
I'd take Anderson because he's more cerebral, but Simmons for his energy, athleticism and swag. They don't play the same role, but if I could keep only one with that Spurs team it would be Kyle.
Lol, fogot to log on and off. Agreeing with his own post
I really expect to see Kyle get the minutes next game. It's Pop's way of keeping egos in check. Simmons has a nice game and looks forward to making even more of a splash next game, maybe begins to feel a little en led, expecting to solidify his position in the pecking order and among the fans, and BOOM! Pop says,"Not so fast! I call the shots, and I have other guys besides you that I want to play. Take a seat, and I'll get back with you." Bet we see Kyle.
I was bumping my old for reference got.
The thread has no purpose but to pit two different guys who play on the same team, have basically grown or developed together since last season, and who can coexist together playing different spots against each other.
Well it is OP.
