We got ZERO from Anderson last season. Saric played 30.5 minutes for a much better team than ours, the Sixers. A playoff team. I believe he played 23.9 for the Twolves, who were also better than us. We got 18 minutes out of Anderson in 15 games and a bunch of DNPs. I won't even go into both their stats. It's going to be pretty near unlikely that Saric plays only 15 games for us and the rest DNP.
The reason Anderson didn't play is because while being bad on defense and at rebounding he was also completely worthless on offense. I fully expect Saric to be much more effective on offense than Anderson was and for that reason alone will play a lot more minutes and games. I also think he is a more capable defender and rebounder at this point in his career than Anderson last year. Anderson was a complete shell of what he was in his prime years in pretty much every way conceivable.
Seriously James???
Almost certain he is talking about the impact Dario will have on offense. Dario is a good passer and a good shooter and because of those things Ayton's life will be much easier on that end.
He is however 100x better than Warren sitting on the bench with a bruised ego. Career stats are almost identical.
He is a pf. Warren was a sf. And I think I could argue that he is a better defender and a much better passer.
I loved Warren and will miss his moxie but it not all doom and gloom. Saric could surprise us and be a good fit. He has a whole country riding on his back with all the pride that comes with that. Sometimes when people get traded they over perform and improve, here's hoping this is one of those situations. Uh huh i'm the glass half full type of person.
That Saric would be a good fit would be no surprise. He is a solid player.
Its about his passing and his intelligence within the offense. Saric has decent athleticism and skills. He plays more like a wing than a pf.
It will be fun to watch some smart basketball.
