Unlike most NBA players, Ryan Anderson’s trade value is not only affected by his level of production on the court. For years he has been a shining force in the Louisiana community and a positive role model off the court.
Earlier this season there was a night where Ryan Anderson swore on the court and promptly apologized to the fans sitting court-side. That same night, Markieff Morris threw a towel at his coach and pouted on the bench.
These differences in character matter. You can compare points, rebounds, defensive ratings, and PER numbers all day but the intangible aspects need to be accounted for as well.
