Masai's one big mistake!

[Axel]

Go watch the games where he is playing a decent amount of minute. Then go watch a few d league games. Then have a conversation with me.

Lol no thanks. Anderson was/is a fringe NBA prospect. He has a very low ceiling - Boris Diaw at best?

D-League hilights don't exactly carry much weight.

So come up with something real, then have a conversation with me.

Here's why: He's not a full roster member for one. Second, the coaching staff decides who plays and who doesn't. They don't care about guys that get sent down to them. All they care is full time members getting minutes. That's it. The D-League isn't a good minor-league to look at to see how to develop projects.

No good coach is going to make the next Anthony Davis lol sit on the bench cause he is not there full time.

does extending Casey count as his biggest mistake?

I kinda think that was just a part of letting the team run its course, and to see if the magic they had for a stretch was real or not.

He isn't doing anything to stop them from crashing and burning, and I think that is his best decision, not worst.

Someone explain to me why he is getting dnp on d league team? 3 games now? Something is wrong here. Stop tricking ur selves, this gots red flag written all over it.

Understanding the game is easy, understanding the game at an NBA tempo takes practice. I agree 100% though that he's a project and agree with Axel that as far we know his skills could be as good as Davis one day.

I think most people agree that the draft was neither a success nor a failure at this point, and we probably won't know for the better part of his rookie contract

Exactly. The kid knows the game at the D-League level though. I've watched him play every minute down there. He's solid on perimeter D. It's his post D that needs work. His shot is good, but his timing isn't (Knowing when to shoot and how long too hold his shot). He plays off the ball poorly, but isn't afraid to dish the ball out. In all honesty, I think of it like this: The kid is the same age as me. (I'm younger than him by a whole 3 months. My B-day is December 21st) I played for a highscholl team this year and averaged 11.8 pts and 6.2 ast as a 5'8 PG. This is probably the last ball I'll play as a skinny white kid with a good mid-range shot. Yet I get to see this kid strive in the NBA. I'm happy for him.

YOU GO BRUNO.

This is why people shouldn't take drugs.

Anderson is averaging 2.5 PPG!!!

Bruno is a project guys. Not a flop. A project. A player who has all the skills and proper drive to become a great basketball player. He understands the game better than most of you think. The issue here isn't skill, but maturity and sharpening those skills. That's what will make Bruno a better player. That's why MU drafted him. He knew has was getting a raw guy with extreme ability. he knew this kid would take time. He's like a prospect in hockey: a kid with solid potential. He;s fine down in the D-League, but since we do not have team, he's not getting what he full needs to develop down there. Hence why we have kept him here. Hence why he's practicing everyday. Hence why the kid is putting on weight as well. All the more to make him strive. He's 19. Most 19 year-olds are in college or playing on a minor/junior league team. Think about that. I say this all the time: Freshman's are not ready for NBA. I say the same thing about baseball and guys going after highschool kids. It's too early. Give Bruno time. I have no doubts he can at least be a effective role player in 2 years if he plays next season at key times.

yes anderson was my guy but the FACT is anderson is playing better then our starting SF (ross), that is a fact if you watch what he did against teams like miami and what he is doing in the D league. this is not about him being my guy this is about not doing anything with the 3 picks we had.

Lol Anthony Davis the kid can't play on d league team and u say Anthony Davis that is the funniest thing I ever read. Not playing on d league team is worst than salmon alabi

Ceiling, as in best case scenario is what you asked for.

Since you clearly missed the point, I'll make it very clear. We have no idea about this kid yet. Too small of a sample size but his physical gifts (height, wingspan), combined with his age, shooting form and natural blocking ability is unheard of for a teen in the NBA.

Well would you deny that he has an exceptional set of physical tools?

And that by all accounts he has what most would define as the right attitude?

Yes physical tools r there.

I am not completely writing him off but it looks really bad right now.

I'm surprised how committed you are to bruno being a flop already. I mean, do you think Kyle Anderson would contribute in an iso heavy offense that the raptors run?

Sure Bruno has a hard time stepping into D league and playing. I don't think he has ever been on a team that would require him to develop a bball IQ, i mean he never even got to watch NBA ball regularly. How can a team that is trying to win put that to use when they have other players that are already winning. He has all the physical tools to be a useful asset, but until he gets regular burn on a team where he is one of the focuses his development will be behind schedule. Until then any judgement on him would be premature in my books.
