He moves pretty well, has range on his shot, has good low post moves, and looks like another guy who can benefit by playing with Chris Paul. Check out these clips. I'll take this play off the bench any day.

Chris Paul should make this guy better.
Yesssssss...after lookin at clip of Jack and now Anderson, I believe that we have gotten a little bit better.
I don't think that anyone can argue his shooting ability. Perhaps Monty and Demps are going for a more offensive 2nd team? It is obvious that our 2nd squad is not doing much in terms of defense OR offense. Whatever little bit of defense we lose with Andersen, we gain 3-fold in offense. Jack is an excelent passer, and Monty seems like he is surrounding him with shooters.
We have a good little pick/pop game going between West/Smith/Anderson.
I remember watching anderson in australia when I was a kid. Had a decent career in europe. Played well at times for houston... needs to keep working on his mid range game. Can go as far as the 3 point line I believe.. but has been inconsistent so far
For the stat whores out there, Andersen's PER, TS%, eFG% and TRb% are higher than Smith's.
well we needed another bigman and he is definitely more competent than pops or Mbenga(and who knows what happened to Aaron Gray).
PER doesnt put defense into the equaton

I like the lil' shoulder shimmy he gives the Celtics guy in the 1st vid.
I like the pick up... He's got size, and could prove to be a solid offensive option off the pine.
When I first saw him as part of the trade I thought that he will be a good match up against Gasol.
Nice assessment. Does that mean that we already think we can make it far and want to make sure we match up with the top team in the West?Quote:

Anderssen vs gasol?¿ LOL.I saw him playing here, in the spanish league, and besides his 3 point shot, he has nothing more.Not rebounding, not shot blocker, and is soft as a flower phisically.You'll see.
Based on the short track record of DelMonty, he will be given a chance to contribute and be tough. If he can't, then he will occupy Mr. Gray's seat. I'm looking forward to the Sacremento game. I hope we get a big lead so Gray and Thornton can get some playing time and earn their way back into the rotation. I'd love to see Banks and Anderson inactive for a week or two while they learn the playbook, with Pops or Mbenga joining them....
The guy can easily help our offense with the 2nd unit. And I think if D-West or Smith get injured, he would be a nice backup. I remember a couple of good games for him with the Rockets last season.
Anderson will not be on this team for long- he will be moved in February. Mark it down.
Dont get too attached.
Seems like to me i remember a lot of posters, doubting the ability of Jason Smith, Bellinelli, and Green and they are playing pretty well, i say lets wait and see how he fit in with the team, before we write him off as garbage.
Did anyone doubt Marco? I can honestly say not a single poster said a bad thing about him. Everyone expected him to produce these numbers, and some even expected less.
I don't k ow this Anderson kid from Adam, but I do know that under this regime he will fill a roll or fill a spot in a trade block, delmonty don't screw around with their team.
fill a spot in a trade, just like Marcus Banks
Do you watch the game?!!? :bah: The 2nd unit have been doin a great job!!!Quote:

In other words when the trade went down, many felt like JuJu and Marco was about even, and we weren't gaining anything with the trade, the same thing people are saying about Anderson, before he has every played a game for the Hornets.
This deal took on more money next year, it has nothing to do with resigning David West. Don't think a rant, calling someone a rookie, or all caps was needed to say something like that.Quote:

Could not be more happy I finally have an Aussie on my team!
love Dave, ripper bloke, and going to be very good here in NOLA, he is a very hard five to guard on the offensive end because he has beyond the arch range.
I have been watching him play since he was at Frankston.
Im really happy.
Actually, I do watch the games. The only one that I can remember them both sitting out was the Spurs game. Green and Smith are the only 2 contributers on the bench (you can add in Jack now, but he wasn't until recently), and they both run hot and cold.Quote:

I have said it many times - we need to bring in an offensive minded assistant coach because, while Monty is a beast on defense, he just cannot handle the offense. Maybe the offense just needs time to jel, and I could be wrong about Monty, but as of right now, our offense is not playing up to their potential.
Thanks for the input. Is he really as soft as everyone says? How is his defense and rebounding?Quote:

No. He is just not a banger. He uses footwork on offense to get to the rim and because his default shot is a pull up, because he has excellent range for a big he tends to start games pulling up and hitting challenging the defense to come out to him, and when they do he then starts to beat them on the cross over. He is a Small Forward trapped in a Centers body to be honest, but he can board at both ends and uses all of his 7 feet.Quote:
