I weigh like 135 so you can imagine how hard it must be for me to get to the rim and box guys out. That's why i'm primarily a 3&D guy, and i'd like to say i'm a pretty good one till it gets to guarding guys much stronger or taller than me.

I like Chuck Hayes. Actually he used to have pretty good athleticism which helped make up for his size. Just don't like seeing him in certain matchups....
That being said, Stauskus is a lot more athletic than Anderson from what I've seen, it makes me think you are buying into the stereotype when describing him :P

*I'm not just making this shit up about Stauskas. It's been part of the book on him for the last 2 years.Last edited by white men can't jump; Tue Apr 8, 2014, 10:47 PM.

He might be very slightly more explosive....but Anderson plays a very deliberate slow style as well, so it's hard to judge. But laterally? Quickness-wise from side to side? Not sure about that. If there is a difference it's negligible. And Anderson has better physical tools from the perspective of height, length and weight.
That being said, Stauskus I'm sure is going to at least be a rotation guy, I am eager to see what Anderson can do when he doesn't have the ball in his hands all the time and have the entire offense built around his solid overall game.

Here's my take on this debate about Kyle Anderson and Nik Stauskas
I'm my opinion these guys prime stats and roles would most likely be
Kyle Anderson - 15ppg 6reb 6asts
Starting SF or PF for small ball
Nik Stauskas - 17ppg 4reb 3asts 43% from 3
Sixth man or starting SG for a solid defensive team ala J.J Redick"Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed
