Watch out for Ryan Anderson this year. He’s had injuries and struggled to start over the past few seasons, but as a PF who has shown he can shoot over 40% from the three-point line on high volume, he is a valuable commodity for any NBA team. He should especially do well in Alvin Gentry’s new fast paced offense.
Anderson won’t get you much in the way of traditional big man stats. However, if you’re looking to gain some out of position threes and free-throw percentage, look no further than his average of 2.5 threes per game and .883 FT% over the last two seasons. He’s started out rusty this pre-season, but recently showed he can heat up quick, putting up 18 points and pulling down 10 rebounds against the Chicago Bulls, including 4 three-pointers.
He also just scored 23 points with 11 rebounds against the Houston Rockets. As a result of his previous injuries and off-shooting year, Anderson is likely to go overlooked in many drafts. However, these injuries seem to be the exception rather than the norm, so expect the 27-year old to make it rain from deep in Gentry’s small ball lineups as he confronts his extension-eligible season.
