Has Ryan Anderson even been in Houston since the season ended? He needs to be shooting everyday at Toyota Center.
What is there to redeem? He was an important part of our offense last season, and he's a solid player. Yes he's overpaid, but so what.
If he can be traded for Melo then I hope he isn't on the team this upcoming season. If Melo gets bought out then I hope Anderson is on the team for this upcoming season.
He can... all he has to do is shoot over 35% from 3 at home AND away. If he still wants to be on a team that doesn't want him, that is.
Idk, he shot over 40% from 3 this past season...which was one of the most efficient years he's ever had from 3...so I'd guess while he would likely improve a bit at home, he would regress on the road. You also have to remember that he has played over 70 games in a season 2 times over his 9 year career...so you might see a more injured Ryan Anderson which would be about par for his career.
Clutch must have been in an incredibly incredibly good mood. People have gotten a permanent kick for less than 5% of what you did.
Anderson doesnt need to redeem anything. He played exactly how he has his entire career. The home percentanges were odd, but to maintain his career numbers, means he was exceptional on the road. Sucks he was bad in the playoffs, but oh well, He is a roleplayer.
He shot horribly every other game at home last year and his overall 3 pt % dropped from 40% to 28% and that is just on shooting accuracy which is supposed to be his specialty not to mention his horrible d and rebounding. What do you mean what is there to redeem? Disregarding his salary you think 28% from a spevialized 3 pt shooter is gonna cut it? I believe Anderson deserves another chance but I don't like it when other posters gloss over his performance like he did great. 12 pts from shooting open 3s thanks to Harden is expected wtf.
He was also playing with Harden who generated more open looks than at any other point in his career and in a system that is supposed to bring out the best in him. If he still shot the same his entire career then that means he actually slacked off last year since the Harden and system boost just resulted in the same performance.
