Point Guard Situation

[fishonjazz]

Just watched Hood adn Burks 2015 highlights. I'm going to need a minute...

Mmm hmm
I feel ya

Bill Simmons talked about what a POS Fisher was/is on his podcast today. He talked about how everyone in the NBA agrees Derek Fisher basically lied his way out of Utah.

Which episode?

I remember when a lot of people described Burke's floor as "DJ Augustin"


loloz

Yeah I remember it well. DJ is even smaller than Trey but has the quicks to make up for it. Burke is in PG hell being both slow and small.

Thinking outside the box on this one (and the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet):

what about calling SAS about Kyle Anderson? I know they like him, but how much? He obviously wouldn't guard the PG, but he can absolutely play that role on offense.

I wouldn't give up more than that OKC or Golden State 1st rounder for him and no way the Spurs would consider that.

I don't agree that he can absolutely play PG. There's a huge question mark if he actually can play that position. In college he was amazing as a passer, but there's no evidence of that translating over into his NBA career. Even in Summer League, which he dominated scoring, he didn't show the same passing ability he did in college.

He definitely can't play PG. A PG has to be able to break down a defense and get into the paint. That is basically a requirement along with bringing up the ball against full-court pressure. I highly doubt KA could do either of those consistently. Could he be a Point-Forward that distributes from the wings and high post, absolutely. Being a good passer and having a high IQ doesn't automatically make one a PG.

Man he looked good in summer league. I would like him on the jazz

 

[Hekate]

Kyle Anderson is slower than Joe Ingles.

Kyle Anderson is slower than Joe Ingles.

In picking up chicks? I'll take that.

As much as makin the undersized pg problem even worse, DJ is a lot more active and much better passer with very good vision than whatever the Jazz have.

And a killer 3 point shooter too.
