Golden State has signed a net forward
Adrian Woznarowski, a reporter for ESPN, a U.S. sports channel, said on the 3rd (Korea time) that the Golden State Warriors agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract with Kyle Anderson. The contract is in the form of a trade with Anderson’s former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, adding that Golden State sends Minnesota the right to exchange second-round nomination rankings and cash.
Anderson is a savvy type of player. He has strength in defense and is a resource for forwards who can handle balls and coordinate games. His weaknesses are that he is weak in three-point shooting and slowness. However, he is the type of player who can help any team he chooses because he has such good BQ.
Anderson averaged 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in the 2023-2024 season, showing a solid performance. Anderson played smartly by efficiently utilizing the Twin Towers built by Minnesota. He was a player with a stake in Minnesota, which has emerged as a Western Conference powerhouse this season. 고수익알바
For Golden State, Anderson is the type of player that is needed. Golden State is a team that plays complex system basketball. For this reason, Coach Steve Kerr is reluctant to hire inexperienced prospects. Instead, he is an important manager who appoints experienced and highly BQ veteran. Gary Payton II was the case.
Anderson is a player who perfectly suits Kerr’s taste in that respect. Anderson has excellent BQ and good defense. Considering that he has weak 3-point shooting, it is hard to find a player who is more suitable for Golden State basketball.
Draymond Green is expected to play a backup role for Anderson at Golden State. Golden State has forward resources such as Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga, but there is no substitute for Green. Green has great influence in coordinating and defending games. However, Anderson is not as capable of exerting influence from all directions as Green, but he can play some of the roles that Green played.
Golden State has missed former franchise star Clay Tamson, but it is raising expectations for next season with a solid recruitment of DeAnthony Melton and Anderson.
