    Thanks for the vids I was just gonna say never seen him play but it looks like he'll be a good fit with our motion O. Great p/u... I hope. ??? :confused:

    We'll see.

    FYI rawool- I hate reposting youtube clips it clutters the board so I shortened it. Thanks again. :cool:

    oh yeah

    I am sure Smeggy is doing backflips over this move!


    i hardly know anything about him but I trust Morey staff and at 29 years old this can only mean one thing

    Next season is all about "holding down the fort" until Yao gets back for 2010-11. Anderson looks like he would be a decent starter/good backup to have and at his age he has reached the peak of his skills to fit in with the other guys (rather than getting a big who still needs time to develop)

    Yay!!!!!!!! Finally a big guy amongst out team of midgets! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like his skill set after watching his youtube videos. Very skilled for a big guy. I am real excited about him. Well at least as a stop gap the likes of Gortat that is. About the same expectancy as Gortat pretty much. This guy has real good mid range shot though and some moves fading away and with putbacks is decent. Youtube can only show so much though. LOL!

    Finally a big man with the real height to play center. Now all we need is a guy to be his back up so he doesn't end up getting tired half way through the season. Johan Petro anybody?

    Sometimes I think the Rockets organization drops in on the GARM and get ideas on the roster. :D

    His game is very reminicsent to Vlade Divac's nice outside J (he may actually be good from 3 point land) good hands in the middle, moves well without the ball, etc. Again this is all from the vids on Youtube so I'd like to see how he does against NBA talent. Motion offense here we come.

    Havent heard much of the guy but looks like he has solid moves around the basket and can stroke the 3! We did not give up much to aquire this guy and he fills a need, maybe not as a starter but off the bench why not. I like it!!!

    Just my 2 cents...
    NBA is too fast for this guy. He already looked clumsy and frustrated as it was on the floor. Not a great rebounder. Cant score with NBA defender on him and doesn't really present much else. Sean Marks is better.

    Future considerations.................obviously there is another part of this deal to come.

    Hmmmm?

    Battier and Landry for Crawford? And we sign Marvin Williams to a MLE?

    I love his offensive versatility, but what's with the crappy rebounding numbers? Does he not box out for rebounds? Do they play a slow-paced game?
