    Only a 10 day contract. This will give the team a chance to evaluate him before a real move needs to be made

    I doubt if the Mavs will buy him out.

    Okay, they needed to do this in order to sign MKG.

    He can shoot cleanly. How is his defense like Apache? I always learn a lot from your posts.

    Did anyone sign Jeff Green? I think they should just sign him. I doubt anyone else really gets PT at this point.

    Not nearly as good handles or passing as Harden but they are physically similar, almost uncannily so.

    Justin "Bubba" Anderson - 6'6 231 6'11 wingspan 38" max vert

    James "Beard" Harden - 6'5 220 6'11 wingspan 37" max vert

    Anderson just put up 48 in GLeague but his forte is disruptive switching defense.

    Meh, I don’t trust his shot and makes bad decisions on defense. Maybe the switch everything could help with that but he is very meh

    Probably opposite ratio to MKG.

    MKG is all defense with little to no offense.
    Broekhoff is all offense with a little defense. Engles of Utah like...imo

    D'Antoni is going all in on offense

    P.S. instant message me on the state of the Rockets in your opinion. I've been interested to know how you feel about this matter since the trade.

    Anderson reminds me of the Junkyard Dog, Mario Elie.

    Anderson shot 48% from 3 his last season with Hawks (only 7 games so small sample size) so his career 30% is not representative of his improved 3ball.

    But completely disagree with you on defense. He is near elite defender, guarding best offensive player and is a positive vocal leader in this area.

    Hawks were 5.2 points per 100 possessions better defensively when he was on the court vs. when he wasn’t.

    Anderson has freakish hops and strong as an ox.

    Great intangibles, 100% hustle/work ethic plus natural leader.

    Broekhoff is better at defense than MKG is at offense, not even close.

    Broekhoff is not an elite defender but he hustles hard and makes few mistakes.

    Justin Anderson was always one of those annoying players that would hit 3s against us (Wes Matthews, Jae Crowder)
    I think he'd be worth a look.

    Anderson plays such sticky defense that Marcus Morris assaults him with basketball, 2 handed jam right to forehead.

    https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...ketball-could-face-regular-season-suspension/

    I'm so glad Marcus Morris no longer a Rocket, never like that dickwad or his less talented brother.



    I can see Anderson finishing lobs from Harden, much better than House in this role. Some teams measured Anderson's max vert at 43". Ridiculous hops.
