Kyle Anderson came into the NBA as something of an object of curiosity — here was a 6’9, 200’ish pound... forward? Point guard? He had ball-handling skills, definitely, but he couldn’t really shoot. He was also so unathletic (for a high-end college prospect), that his nickname became “Slo Mo.” At the same time, he stuffed the box-score to the extent that he was called the: “bigest triple double threat in college basketball.”
What the heck was this guy? Where he should he play? What should he be expected to do on the court?
Flash forward and Kyle Anderson, now in his seventh season, just put up a five and a half-win season, with a win shares per 48 minutes that ranked him 45th in the NBA.
