what happened in Utah that made everyone think Layden was a genious for drafting this guy? Could it be that he plays great down the stretch and in the playoffs? Shandon has been pretty good lately. Imagine he surprises all of us in the 1st round if Houston doesn't play.

I don't think I've ever hated Anderson. He's a good defender, athletic, gives you six fouls, and is a good runner. He's good for the occasional block, and the occasional 20 points. Granted, I'm only looking at the scoreboards but every team needs a guy like Anderson.

My strategy for the first round would be to put Anderson on the opposing teams best guard (like Kidd), have him 'foul' him and hope for an injury or a suspension.

Anderson appears as if he has tried to throw a few games since his consecutive games streak ended. The guy is just awful with the ball unless he's attacking the basket. I cringe when he puts up a jumpshot.
