Play Bonner or re-sign Horry if you want a perimeter shooting big. Don't waste a first rounder and then force yourself to unload Bonner somewhere.
Sorry if posted. Seems a little early for him, no?
From Chad Ford on ESPN:
The skinny: [Updated 6/25] Lots of buzz that the Spurs have committed to Cal's sweet- shooting forward Anderson with the No. 26 pick. He should be able to stretch the defense the way Robert Horry used to.

If this is true, there better be a deal in place for an additional first-round pick.

You know Pop never shows his hand, I don't believe it.
It could just be smoke and mirrors...but I don't see the advantage of making people think you're drafting a guy that's not in high demand.
Chad Ford better be wrong or unaware that the Spurs would be picking Anderson as part of a trade.
There is no way in the Spurs could justify taking Anderson with their 1st.
Instead of an athletic slasher, they target Matt Bonner Jr. when they already have Matt Bonner.
well, I would have liked this decision if we didn't have Bonner and possibly Horry back.
Perhaps this choice means they won't resign Horry.
I think there has to be something else going on, possibly for another 1st rounder, maybe trading one of the 2nd rounders + Bonner for one, or something of that sort.
I think he's gonna be a good player, but could turn out to be Keith Van Horn who was pretty average in my mind.
True. Anderson is a second round pick so no one would care if this got leaked.
Chances are this is BS. But if it's true, it's going to suck.
Yes, this seems like something the Spurs would do.
Let everyone know exactly to whom they have committed days in advance of the draft.
Again, it's probably BS but the whole world knew they wanted Nenad Krstic a couple days before that draft.

21.1 points and 9.9 rebounds last year. 6'10" and 240, limited athletically. 41% 3-pt shooter last season at Cal. Compared to Troy Murphy a lot, but I don't know if he has Murphy's face up game. Shoots lights out.
Draft Express has him going to the Spurs at #26 as well.
I call bs....but a very timid bs.
So the Nets will take him at 21....
I'll believe anything at this point.
I'm going to choose to believe this is B.S., and that there's no way in that Pop/R.C. would commit to someone before seeing who could fall to them at 26.
This had better be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. That's all they need now is another 6'10", one-trick pony who can't play D to save his life.
My draft-day optimism is starting to lean toward outrage.
It's likely that if they did commit to this pick, it would be packaged in some type of deal.
Like I said, I'd only like it, or even consider it, if we didn't have Bonner and possibly Horry.
Let's just wait it out and see what happens.
Bonner's senior year at Florida:
15.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 47% 3ptFG
Anderson's sop re year at Cal:
21.1 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 41% 3ptFG
Well this is the type of news that will drive a man to drink... Heavily
The good news... If it's not true???
Well... I'll celebrate by drinking heavily.
What do you know??? It's a win/win!
i'm a genius, lol.
The more I research about Anderson, the more it looks like BS. He worked out today for the Spurs in San Antonio but the Rockets were allowed to come too. Making a promise to a player two days before the draft doesn't make much sense since the point of making a promise is for a player to either stay in a draft or stop working out for other teams. You don't make a promise to a player who will be available with or without the promise.
I can't see a scenario where the Spurs flew him in and were so blown away that they told him on the spot that he was the pick. Makes no sense. Unless the Spurs had the Rockets in town to say "you think the Scola trade was dumb, wait until you see this . . ."
wow.. like most posters have said, this is bs, at least we hope it is!
That's weird, because both the Spurs and Rockets already have a long range PF on their rosters -- though Steve Novak is not as good and easily more jettisoned. I can't see the Rockets' burning a first rounder on a fourth or fifth big man any more than I can see the Spurs' doing it. It only makes sense for either team if they get rid of multiple big men.
WTF no.

It makes no sense ... but judging by the trades and draft picks we've seen in the last year, you have a good chance to be right.
