Anderson should be the first option late. He's the best scorer on the team right now. Give him a post-up fadeaway or let him take a 3...He can get it off over anyone and has shown a propensity for knocking down shots in the last few minutes of games.


If Vasquez can't get him the ball, wouldnt it be nice to see a second or even a third option before he takes his desperation shot. Last night we had about 17 seconds to get off a shot, and we ended up getting a shot that had no chance as soon as it left his fingers.

I brought up some of these thoughts last night after the game. The factors effecting EG's fourth qtr performance are many including: still getting into shape, hesitation and not fully trusting his teammates, and finally the long break he gets in the third/fourth qtr breaks all of his rhythm.

The people who say he isn't our best scorer are just being blind due to other factors (personality, injury, Phoenix comments). He had a full arsenal on display last night through the first three qtrs. He shot the ball well, got into the lane at will, and passed very well. When he came into the game after sitting for almost a full quarter he could not regain any rhythm. Call it an excuse, bash me, or whatever, but it is incredibly difficulty to sit for that long every second half and come in and be dominant. Even with the subpar performance in the last 4 minutes he finished as our leading scorer (tied with 2 others) on 7-14 from the field including 3-6 from three.
