SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Jeff Ayres signed a 2 year / $3.58 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs, including $3,578,750 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $1,789,375. After he joined to his new team  the experts thoughts that the Spurs will likely not ask much of jeff . Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter are returning next season -- as are Boris Diaw, Matt Bonner and Aron Baynes -- so San Antonio is not short on big men. jeff is just another big body and while he will see the court, especially in the regular season when Duncan's minutes are limited, the power forward will get as much playing time as he earns. That means outplaying Diaw and Baynes and being the more physical alternative to Bonner's shooting.

strengths and weaknesses

One of Ayres’ biggest weaknesses is that he’s not much of an interior presence on the defensive end. He’s a solid athlete who affects the perimeter defense more than post defense. He also rebounds well. But he just doesn’t do well protecting the rim, and I don’t know if those hands are still an issue.

Kyle Anderson & His Father

Kyle’s father, Kyle Sr., the former head coach at Ferris High School and former assistant at St. Peter’s 

College,

he said to local newspaper in 2011

not a lot of kids get the chance to be recruited and watched like I am. I really look at it as a blessing. This is what I’ve worked hard for. I’ve been playing the game since I was like 3 years old and it’s what I’ve wanted to have happen. It’s never too big for me. Sometimes, I stop and think, ‘Am I really on ESPN or on TV?’ And I think that this is what I worked hard for.”

 

Kyle Anderson signed a 2 year / $2.24 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs, including $2,236,560 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $1,118,280.

Who Is This Guy?

You Might Know Him From: Winning the Pac-12 tournament . Orarriving at UCLA as an All-American out of Bob Hurley’s St. Anthony program in New Jersey, getting upstaged by teammate Shabazz Muhammad last year

Why Anderson?

the Spurs were looking for the best talent available. However, specific team needs could include a back-up .

The NBA draft is about supply and demand. The more in demand a particular individual and skill set, the higher the value, and the earlier the individual is likely to be selected. The more common a skill set might be, the lower the perceived value because that skill set could be picked up later

Anderson is unique. Therefore by nature supply is low. He is not like the "athlete" SG/SF wings cranked out by the collegiate system in mass numbers. He is best described as an offensive "initiator", with the ability to create, pass, and shoot/finish when necessary. Anderson’s skill set is very unusual and potentially valuable in a motion-based offense, and this immediately makes him 

more rare and desirable than other 

The San Antonio Spurs' Kyle Anderson may just be the most fascinating rookie in the NBA next season

why this guy is so unique ?

Kyle Anderson’s (KA) physical measurements

6.9                         Height

      7.2                      wingspan 

    8.11      Standing Reach

            230                       weight 

13.4                    body fat

         8.2            hand length

  8.75             hand width

Anderson, who the Spurs selected 30th overall in the 2014 draft, posted a 34.3 percent assist rate at UCLA last season, per Sports-Reference. Only five players in NBA history listed at 6'8” or taller have hit the same benchmark—LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady and Jalen Rose—and Anderson doesn't have half the athleticism those guys do.

Keeping that in mind, the most reasonable expectation for Anderson's rookie season is nothing more than simple experimentation. Anderson has no clear cut position at the next level, but he'll probably settle into a role as a playmaking guard

Due to Patty Mills' shoulder injury, Anderson has the chance to steal minutes at guard immediately, and he creates some bizarre mismatches when he's on the ball. Anderson's height gives him the ability to throw unobstructed passes almost anywhere on the floor, which could be particularly deadly in conjunction with the Spurs' frantic off-ball movement.

By almost all statistical measures, Anderson is at least as good as the more highly drafted PG’s in most categories, and surpasses all of them in rebounds and blocks. Measured by total assists rather than PPR, Anderson was the best PG in the entire draft class, and easily had the largest number of rebounds per game. Secondly, simply from a statistical point of view, he does not appear to be a terrible liability defensively. Probably due to his length, he has a good number of blocks per game, a respectable number of steals per game, and a low number of personal fouls per game
