I've narrowed down the problem to two options... After the Jazz game, he was either infected by a shooting bug or he began choosing the blue pill every morning instead of the red. Keith Jones needs to figure this out for Mr. Anderson ASAP!
I am not saying they are the same caliber player. Dwight is obviously superior, especially in his prime. They both have great physical gifts (ryan's shooting touch, Dwight's freak athleticism/size combo). But neither one has that X-factor between the ears. The intense drive of Kevin Garnett. The laser focus of Olajuwon. And so on. Ryno and Dwight are not that kind of guy that makes their teammates better.
No to Dwert.

You guys are getting to be too hard on Ryan. I mean sure, he's not great at basketball right now. But if you need to get something off the top shelf at the grocery store, he's a great guy to have around.
After the Trade Deadline .. . and at worse after the All Star break . . .. we will be back to being average rather than atrocious Rocket River
If we only count contribution on basketball court, Kobe's last contract is easily the worst in NBA history. 90 M for 100 games, and he was garbage at that time.
You come to realization that hes playing like this for #1 reason... He doesnt want to get traded Period He likes things right now with his life, hes not gonna play well because he will get traded. There no rush now to help his team win, so he rather just sit on this and milk his contract. Maybe show up a little in the playoffs like when needed on 3pt shots to win some games, but then just dissepear like last year. He is starting to reak of a overpaid scrub, not a good role player. I would just buy him out fast.
anderson reads clutchfans. confirmed. all the criticism from cf forced him to tap into that part of him he didn't know was possible.
Are those list of stats showing Anderson's stats next to the people you listed with salaries, to compare? Or are they ranking ??
