Previously on Kyle Anderson ceiling:
some assorted takes:
El Nono Magic Johnson without the AIDS, IMO
Chinook in a couple of years. Just watch. This kid's gonna be good.
Roger FreeMason jr. Somebody please put my mind at ease. I know the Summer League isn't the best sample size, but he seemed tremendously bad on the defensive end, and I didn't see much from him that made up for it. I'd like to know why you believe he will be a good contributor.
GSH I think he's got the talent to stick in the NBA. Not a star, but a solid contributor. But only if he makes an effort to scratch and claw, and not take time off during games. I don't blame Pop for kicking his ass.
These were just some of the takes.
After the 2015 draft, where does Kyle sit?
How much, if any, playing time will he get in 15-16?
Think Nono hit the nail on the head tbh. Definitely a 100% serious take and he couldn't have been more right.
He seems to have a Paul Pierce-esqe type of game. (obviously a much lower ceiling)
Spot minutes at backup 3 & 4. I think the hope is that he can back up Kawhi full time right now though we all think he's a 4. If he proves a capable backup 3 we don't need to spend more than minimum to replace Beli with a microwave shooter.
Well, he had ample time to get over himself...
The boring answer: good stats in the d league. Basically no proof if nba talent but possible talent. End of bench player right now. The team should have room to keep him in sa
Need to see what position he will play and if he can do it on an NBA level. Most players picked where he was are only in the league for a few years.
If he can play with confidence in camp and the preseason (and avoid trying to beat people on a one-man break), he's going to get a chance to play some meaningful minutes early on.
Hyperbole aside, he's kind of a broke man's Diaw at this point -- he's got skills across the board, but doesn't do any of those things remotely as well as Boris does. I think some of the deficiency came from the fact that he did play with what appeared to be a lot of uncertainty during his stints with the Spurs, almost like he didn't know how to find his place when playing with the established guys. I hope that a year's seasoning and another camp will help him to be more comfortable and natural in those situations and to demonstrate whether his skills fully translate to the NBA game.
I wouldn't mind anderson taking tonys starting job.
He will replace Manu as the 2nd unit leader and 6th man.
he will continue to be the brunt of speculative threads from a slew of NBA experts disguised as ST posters.
spurs like work ethic and like him a lot
hopefully he has improved since spur fans have seen him play with spurs
going against starters he will look worse then against other bench players
lots of good point guards out there
For many players the improvement between their 1st and 2nd years in the league is the biggest of any offseason. We need at least this coming season to see if this particular Anderson will pan out.
still on track to be the bench Diaw, hopefully. I hope he piles up pretty assists in the summer league. Lobs and needle threaders to a cutting Livio would be ideal.
Guy you like to root for him but at the end of the day you not gonna win a meaningful basketball game with him...
Bingo.
hey, i dno if you guys have seen this video before, but its kyle anderson before being drafted talking about how much he admires the spurs and wants to play for them
IMO Spurs should offer him the max. I mean just think of this starting 5
Tony - max
Anderson - max
KL - max
Tiago - max
Milunitov - Rookie
Bench
Tim - vet min
Ayers - min
Baynes - min
JLC min
Lalane min
Here SA have enough playmakers and elite defensive players to literally shut down every team and still make mind boggling passes, cuts, and back door layups. I know this ties SA financially, but screw it, they are in win-now mode.
Who?
I saw nothing from him last year that makes me think he's a legitimate NBA rotation player. Hopefully that will change...
Jeff Ayers needs a player to beat up on
The biggest thing to take from that video is that he didn't believe he would be around when the Spurs picked. He's had an over-inflated sense of self worth from the start. It's laughable. Early on during training camp he said there was going to be a feeling-out process between him and the Spurs. He was going to get used to the system and the team was going to adjust to his style of play.
Right Kyle...Pop will try and adjust to your style of play....your slow, plodding, sloth-like movements that lull your opponent to sleep.
Obstructed View dude had a couple of great takes about him tbh... in particular on his amazing athleticism or something
