    An athletic small forward who plays solid defense, but doesn't want to be too assertive or step on other players toes. Sound familiar? Like somebody we have grown to despise and hate? Frankly, Anderson has the talent, but not the personality to be a prime-time player in this league. Unlike Mobley, Anderson is a reserved personality to shuns the limelight and doesn't want the responsibility that comes with it. That's why he'll never be a very good player, and it's a down-right,low down, dirty rotten shame!

    Shandon gets every open shot but he passes it up alot. He doesnt take it and if he does he usually misses.

    Sadly, that's probably true. And that tells you all you need to know about Shandon this season. [​IMG]

    kbm,
    Shandon is a swingman(to state the obvious) which means he plays two positions- shooting guard and small forward. For a few months now, Anderson has started at small forward(to state the even more obvious) and will likely finish the season in this capacity due to Rudy T unwillingness/overloyalty/fear of changing the starting line up. Does anybody disagree with my assessment of Shandon Anderson as a poor man's Scottie Pippen. Just proof that pro sports are just as much(or more) mental as physical. Does anybody disagree with me?

    As much as i hate scottie peepee, Shandon would be a very very poor's man peepee. Shandon stinks and his defense is very overrated. I think the Rockets should look at better alternatives this offseason.

    Does anybody know what the terms of Shandon Anderson's contract are? Didn't his agent complain that Anderson wouldn't get the money he deserved through early bird rights??
