The Silent Scream

10. Ryan Anderson Threat Level
I could do an entire post on the creative ways Monty Williams gets Ryan Anderson open looks in the half-court, but this is more fun. Anderson is now the league's premier long-range bomber, tossing up a ridiculous eight 3s per game and making a just-as-ridiculous 43.5 percent of them. Teams are absolutely terrified of leaving him open; Ray Allen may be the only player who inspires the same level of fear even before the ball has reached his hands.
The best is in semi-transition, when defenses are scrambling to find the right matchups and Anderson is sprinting to an open spot somewhere behind the 3-point arc. There is a wonderful slice of time when the defense — coaches, players, trainers, fans behind the bench, people watching on TV — all realize where the ball is about to be passed, and that it is too late to do anything about it. It is the NBA's new silent scream.

This guy is the definition of a steal. He's the only reason we're not losing by 30 points every night

Great read.
It's amazing that his %s have gone up despite being on a worse team. He is the only true offensive threat on this team, defenses know it, and he still gets his shots and points every night. I thought he would be best as a 2nd or 3rd option, but he is making a convincing argument to be a number 1 scoring option right now.
Not sure it will or should happen, but if he developed just one go to post move, he becomes an almost impossible matchup. 6'9" or 6'10" defender comfortable from the block to the arc is very very rare.
