 Kyle Anderson really intriguing prospect. Not a great athlete. 7'2.5" wingspan looks like he can play three positions on offense. I have no idea about his defense. Right now it looks like he could be easily had with are second first round pick. He really has a great feel for the game love guys like that.

I was just remarking on this n the lavine thread. I wanted to get a closer look at Zach, but find myself intrigued with Anderson.

Anderson looks like he has the skills of a player in the middle of the jalen rose, Antoine walker range. But i dont see the same level of confidence. Gotta keep an eye on this guy though.

His passes and rebounds will stay the same in the NBA.  He plays best as a point guard.  He doesn't have the elite athleticism to be an elite NBA player.  Even Pierce is more athletic than him, not to mention Pierce has broader shoulders.  The points he scores will go down.

He's best as a facilitator rather than a go-to guy.  He won't be beating people off the dribble in the NBA.  His height and wingspan will allow him to be a good passing forward like Turkogulu in his prime.  It will also allow him to get in some nice steals.

But the kid is a starter at best.  He won't be elite.  He's like Evan Turner in college where Turner would just get his shots off and had just enough athleticism to be dominant at that level.  Once he got to the NBA things were very different.

Evan Turner is averaging 19.3/6.5/4.0 this year, I think I would take that.

Yeah I know right nice comparison in Evan Turner but worst argument ever, on why he won't make it in the  league. Turner is on the verge of being an All Star and this kid is an even better passer. I watched the game again and the kids passing and BBIQ are off the charts.

I like him, but he is a lot more of a point forward than a point guard. I disagree with the Evan Turner comparisons. Turner was waaaay more athletic in college.

Here are his "full highlights" (every point, assist and steal) by Dawk Ins.

Sadly, it doesn't show how he plays on defense but his lack of physical tools looks like it'll limit him (draftexpress agrees). Draftexpress believes he's most suited defending the 3.

Seems to me like a Boris diaw type player. He will never really have a position but his size and unique skill set will keep him in league for a while.

Its interesting to look at his measurables. His 7'2.5" wingspan and 9' reach are actually 4/5 level measurements.

Seeing the highlight above, i'm very intrigued by andersons skillset. Kid is only a decent body away from being a top 5 pick

But even without it, he has alot of skills + 6'9 and 7'25 wingspan. He looked good against Parker and plays with alot of confidence. Has a high release on his jump shot which will be valuable in the nba

I'm kind of getting a Mike Dunleavy Jr type of vibe from him. Which is good for a 2nd rounder but not for a 1st.

Mike Dunleavy NEVER had this court vision and passing ability, not to mention the rebounding ability.  EVER.

P.S. Granted, Dunleavy is at this point a superior outside shooter.
