Will Ryan Anderson be viable in a playoff rotation?

He'll be useful against the Spurs in round 1, provided he doesn't completely suck against the Spurs like last year.

 

Better than Joe Fraudson!

 

Capela - OK, there's one.
Nene - aging before our eyes
Qi - has the weight of a high school PG
Onuaku - makes Stromile Swift look like Wilt Chamberlain
Wright - dead

 

I see what you did there

 

White boy is so injured prone.

--- Brandon Wright

 

So you're saying he's..."sneaky athletic"???

 

Only on Road games

Road Rhyno

 

I like his role now. I think he should play a bit more actually. He almost has much value as an offensive rebound tip-in guy as a floor spacer.

 

I’m more worried about his offense than defense, tbh. I just want him to pull the trigger on any beam of daylight

 

I can see him getting exposed in the playoffs...thank God we got Thicc to play small ball 5

I love this lineup against GS

CP3
Harden
Ego
Moute
Tucker

 

I think we should go 9 deep with Anderson getting mins ofcourse depending on the matchups.

Paul
Harden
Ariza
Tucker
Capela

Gordon
Nene
BOOTY
Anderson.

Switch out: Green.

 

Yes.

 

The main reason Anderson isn't getting PT is because MDA knows he is a playoff choker:
1) Averaged 7 ppg for the playoffs
2) Shot 28% last year

So for those who keep saying we need Anderson, he needs to prove that he will be able to shoot fine in the playoffs. This is also why Morey got Green, Tucker, Joe Johnson and Luc it's because he knows Anderson might become a b**** in the playoffs.

 

Like how he shot last year? Gimme a break dude let's stop glorifying Anderson and judge him on his ACTUAL performance in the playoffs.

The reality dude has been a scrub almost every year he reached the playoffs.

 

Not if he's gonna be gun shy.

 

Two of them just aren't seasoned yet and Black doesn't have the b-ball IQ. To even ask that question makes it seem like you haven't watched many games this season.

 

Draymond will not leave the paint. He'll still cut off drives and protect the rim, and still rotat to shooters simulatenously because he's a mythic god defender. Anderson is not Kevin Love. He can't get those truly elite catch and shoot opportunities(completely contested) off and hit them like there's no pressure.

Draymond was running Anderson off the line entirely in those games. On the other hand, he punished them on the boards so props to him.

 

It all matters about match ups. There is a reason why we have so many interchangeable parts. Who ever they throw out there we have a piece to play with.

 

a rotation of Ryno and Mbah a Moute is all we need at the 4 spot. They actually compliment each other well. Hell, i think i saw MDA using Ryno at the 5 the other night and he was drawing folks out of the paint, clearing a lot of room for James.

Ryno can absolutely contribute and will contribute in the playoffs. He's our best shooting big; his skill-set is still pretty damn valuable. When we need more defensive presence in the front court Mbah a Moute has proven to be a real value add there.
