re: Anderson the enigma

I understand your point and where you are going with it, but Manu started the whole '09 season. He has been hurt alot since that time, which is why they cut his minutes so much. Plus, they play different positions. Manu backs up Danny Green.

Manu/Parker have averaged about 15 mpg together since 2008

That isn't suprising considering Manu has only played around 25 mpg since that time. So he plays about 10 mpg without Parker. But it's not like they are splitting time.

Methinks they will see an increase in shared time next season.

Most articles I have read suggest the same thing. But those sources also point to Davis moving to Center. They say he put up better numbers there and that is the best way to get Anderson on the floor with him. So you are probably right, especially if they pick-up a Center this year.

But lets say they draft or sign a Center. Do they keep Lopez (?) and if they do, what does that do to playing Davis and Anderson together? If they have Len (ugh) or Al Jefferson and Lopez playing Center, how do Anderson and Davis get minutes together? Plus J. Smith is just done then..
