    I was about to start a thread to ask to find a way to get him more playing time when Delfino gets back cause he was looking pretty good.

    Then completely screws us over in the 4th quarter in two key plays in boxing out Wade and charging into Haslem damn it!

    Growing pains. He'll learn. Hopefully.

    He's Cole Adrich of our SF. Parsons and Delfino are clearly better than him just as Asik and Smith are better than Cole Adrich.

    Lets try not to kill him, like Lin. He hasn't played much. I agree he'll learn. The coach put him in a tough situation.

    Played great outside of the last couple minutes, should have been Parsons in there.

    So one mistake means he is a scrub?

    Given that it was his first time in his kind of situation with us, I'll give him the BOTD (although I'm not sure why he out there in that situation in the first place). I think he can turn out to be a decent backup to Harden on this team. His contract is very favorable as well.

    Give him some time. But did McHale intend to kill Anderson's confidence by playing him there in critical times and letting him make mistakes? Sometimes, you wonder whether McHale really understand the psychological side of coaching.

    hell the starters were in the negative while the subs were all postive

    Actually I think he is pretty good, I am more disappointed in what happened at the end of the game as it was the most important aspect.

    Other then that he showed a real good floor game and poise and that 3 point shot will come with more repetition.

    I don't mind seeing him get some spot minutes when Delfino comes back if he or Parson's is not doing well.

    Also like someone said if he can make that 3 point shot consistently which he historically proven then Delfino indeed can become trade bait.

    I've been watching Anderson closely since he's now getting actual playing time. He looks pretty good physically and plays okay. I thought the injury might've costed his spot with the Spurs, but seems like they just had too many good players. At his age, there's still potential for growth into a decent backup.

    He's not Delfino level though. I think that's his ceiling.
