Sun Jul 13 2014 | 18:04 | Kyle Anderson struggles in Summer League |
Spurs rookie Kyle Anderson had a rough game vs. the Cavaliers on Sunday, scoring two points on 1-of-7 shooting with six rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes. |
Anderson's nickname, Slo-Mo, was once again obvious as he struggled to defend the superior athleticism of Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins. The Spurs can afford to develop Anderson slowly, using him strategically in favorable matchups, and he's unlikely to have a big role as a rookie. |

Sat Jul 12 2014 | 13:26 | Spurs officially sign rookie Kyle Anderson |
The Spurs officially signed No. 30 pick Kyle Anderson on Saturday. |
Anderson is 6'9" and 230 pounds but he's an abnormally good passer who averaged 14.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists last season. He also made 48.3 percent of his shots beyond the arc as a sophomore with UCLA, and looks like a perfect fit in Gregg Popovich's system. Unfortunately, with Boris Diaw re-signed and the Spurs intent on repeating as champions, the rookie isn't likely to play enough to have fantasy value. |

Sat Jul 12 2014 | 00:12 | Kyle Anderson has a typical night |
Kyle Anderson had a typical night vs. the Kings on Friday with six points, four boards, six assists and one steal in 26 minutes. |
He lived up to his nickname Slo Mo today. Anderson acted as point forward on several possessions and played mistake-free ball. The Spurs didn't lose any depth this offseason, which means we won't see much of Anderson on the nights Coach Pop doesn't rest his players. |

Sat Jun 28 2014 | 00:40 | Spurs don't know what to do with Anderson yet |
General manager R.C. Buford said he doesn't know what position Kyle Anderson will play with the Spurs yet. |
Buford added that coach Gregg Popovich and Anderson will probably figure out what position he'll play once they meet. The Spurs had Anderson fall into their laps at 30 and his passing skills will undoubtedly be put to use as long as he gets minutes. Slo Mo is unlikely to make an impact out of the gate, but could be a key rotational guy in a year or two. |
