On May 10, 2012, Denver NBC affiliate 9News reported Andersen's home was the target of an investigation of a suspected internet case by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
Yes, it was such a contagion that he didn't make it to the playoff roster and isn't even listed on the Nugget's depth chart behind those future HOF'ers Kosta Koufous and Moz.
I don't want to get into a huge argument about this. All I'm saying is that you should let the legal process play out before going out on a limb and putting a label anybody. He had a substance abuse problem? So what. I'm sure everyone on this board knows at least one person who's struggled with substance abuse and isn't a sociopath. Yes, Andersen is under investigation. But there haven't been many details leaked about the case and no charges have been filed. That is not enough information for me, or anybody, to make a judgement judgement on Andersen's ability to empathize with other people and operate within social norms.

The dude averaged about five rebounds, a little less than one steal and a little more than one block playing 15 minutes a game last year. I don't think anyone here can deny that the guy hustles and is productive.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
