Your record proves my point. You and a lot of posters here act like the spacing he provides is the best thing this team has going. You're a .500 team until you get a center. Playing Anderson at the 3 isn't going to give you the spacing that you value so much. That happens when he's at the 4 - which happens to be the position your franchise player plays. Anderson is a really good shooter but as long as Davis is your cornerstone, he's not a good fit unless you want to give him 20 minutes a game. You'll continue to be a fun team to watch that isn't a serious threat. Anderson needs to be next to a dominant center to maximize his true value. Davis needs someone to body up those big centers.

I tend to agree, but that doesn't mean Anderson can't play the 4 at all. He and Davis should be the only players that get minutes at the 4.

There are 96 minutes in a game at the 4 and 5. Anderson should be played like we play Morrow now, but he actually works. Davis can play 35 minutes a game, Anderson can play 30 (2 minutes at SF), and a big, defensive, rebounding C can play 33 a game and we'd be rolling. Ryno does more than Smith. Monty's rotation with these scrubs isn't helping anyone.
