MikeCheck: Grizzlies relying on ‘Slow Mo’ Anderson’s unique style to fortify roster as prized free agent

LAS VEGAS – As an NBA player, Kyle Anderson is an acquired taste.

Nicknamed ‘Slow Mo’ because of his deliberate and moderate pace, Anderson doesn’t have a library of viral dunks or explosive plays out there on the internet.

The 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward’s impact is more like a marinade. Give it time to sink in, and it enhances just about anything. A city as flavorful as Memphis can certainly appreciate the slow-burn process. And the Grizzlies are confident they’ve found an ideal blend of versatility, basketball IQ and winning pedigree in Anderson, who was signed to a four-year, $37.
