Kyle Anderson
SF, 6’9, 230lbs, 23 years old, 3 years of experience
Being so cerebral, Anderson was always going to find his way into an NBA rotation, even if he is a bit slow to change direction. Offensively, Anderson has learned to find his spots; the corner threes, the one-dribble pull-up straightaway twos, leaking out and cutting off the ball make for some scoring opportunities, which he is pretty good at finding if not so good at making when contested. Defensively, the less explosive the opponent, the better, yet he can compete with them all, and he has proven that he can rebound at the NBA level, which in turn might precipitate a move to the small ball power forward role (where his abilities to handle from outside and lead the break become massive mismatch advantages). A player like Anderson will always need a functioning team unit around him on both ends to succeed. Here, he has that.
Player Plan: One year of rookie scale salary remaining. Extension eligible, but that would be a surprise. Ought be given regular minutes at the power forward spot going for-ward, especially in light of the uncertainty of the futures of all three of the players that were ahead of him there. Thereafter, re-evaluate next summer.
