This guy is solid. He is like the Patrick Beverley of SGs. I have no idea why he isn't getting minutes but guys like Francisco Garcia and Carlos Delfino. Both guys are absolutely useless apart from the occasional 3 which we can't even depend on.
Not to derail but I feel that Terrence Jones should start. The 4 has been our weakest position and we need a rim protector. Someone who knows basketball and how to rotate on D. Smith has really hurt us and he doesn't block shots either. I really think Jones should start game 4 and put Smith back at the 5.
I would like to see what he could do. But we don't need to get too crazy. The Thunder just had a major shakeup and we showed big growth last game. We need to make them adjust to us. I also wouldn't mind seeing more TRob to hack-a-Perk.
Agree with this as well, but if Jones has trouble defensively (like Smith) or is tentative, he should be on a short lease. I'd be just as happy playing small with Beverly, as Beverly rebounds as well as many PFs out there (apologies for the PatPat reference).
I like Anderson, but I don't think you can quite trust him yet, which is why I think he hasn't been getting and won't get much PT going forward. He does some nice things, but there are still a little too many WTF moments with him for my liking. His handles aren't tight enough and he has Asik-ish hand moments, which is troublesome for a for a wing. Because of this he turns the ball over a little more than ideal for a low usage player. He also takes some questionable shots at times. Those things are correctable and he very well may be a keeper going forward, but Delfino and Garcia are just more solid at this point.
What makes you think Anderson is so good? His play this year? I haven't seen him do anything really. Just curious. Not hating. Garcia still shot the three at 39%. I think he's delivered.
Even when Anderson's shots aren't falling, he's rebounding, stealing, defending, and doing all the little things to contribute to the team. Can't say that for Delfino or Garcia.
Role players generally play a lot better at home than on the road in the playoffs. Expect the guys who didn't show up in OKC to have a better showing at home. I don't think we'll see Anderson tomorrow though I've not been impressed with Garcia at all.
i get nervous when Anderson is anywhere near or is handling the ball... he plays with such disregard of results..
give him some kick, he has size and shows movement off the ball rather than post up behind the 3 point line all day.
