That Ryan Anderson contract might be one of the worst in the league

Anderson went 0-fer last night for the third time this season and he don't play little minutes. This dude passes up open shots and pump fakes into the defense.


If we have any shot of acquiring Melo, I hope he's the first outgoing contract.

noah cant shoot freethrows, cant make layups, generally cant score, cant defend pick and roll, cant defend his own man, can't defend the rim.
he's a liability at every single aspect at basketball outside of rebounding.
has 8 games of 0 points.

I hate using production to scale a player's salary, but Anderson is shooting 40% on seven 3-pt attempts per game (the best shooting big man in the league, by a country mile); the percentage of cap he's taking up, his market value and his value/importance to the entire makeup of the Rockets offense - you know that D'Antoni one that functions almost entirely from behind the arc, means he has no business being in the 'worst contracts in the league' conversation. Noah on the other hand.....

Rebounding is a dying art in the league. Did you see the game late night. Rockets literally almost lost last cuz they kept giving the bulls extra possessions. Nobody on the rockets box out, definitely not Anderson. He don't rebound, he don't defend,he can't pass or affiliate, could barely put the ball on the floor. he's a shooter who objects to shooting..

You go back in forth between the eye text and the metrics..... if you watch the rockets games and see the issue , you know Anderson is one of them.


Check his splits against WC playoff teams. Only against GS has he shown up and that was mostly the first game against them. He's shooting below 36% against the other 6playoffs teams in the west. That's telling...

i would literally drive noah to houston myself if i could trade him for ryan anderson
you know you wouldnt take him
you say all this...but he's still a 40 percent shooter from 3.
the objective of the game is to put the ball in the hole...ryan can atleast do that.
noah cant stop someone from doing that...and he cant do it himself.
noah is getting his minutes ate up by a rookie....that makes less than 1/15th of his salary

 

[who_better_than_me]

32% against Cleveland
35% against Boston
33% against Toronto

20% against Clippers
38% against OKC
45% against Memphis
37% against Utah
24% against Spurs
50% against GSW


That's what Ryan Anderson overall shooting(his only skill he brings to the team) is against the top ten teams in the league looks like.

@Gil Scott-Heroin those the only numbers you need to know when talking about Anderson

Yeah he can put the ball in the hole against the Nets, knicks, mavs of the league but not against the competitive teams. I'd take on Noah contract if it brought Melo and we sent out Brewer and Anderson.

nah you just don't want to see it. I see it every night. Soon as I contextualize your point, you have no choice but nil. I don't give a fukk if he's the best shooting big in the league against the lottery team but goes ghost against the contenders. We ain't playing the Nets , Lakers, or suns in May
