Whereas a guy like Chris Andersen is aggressive (sometimes overly so) all the time and although he's not the most skilled big man, he seems to know how to play his role. Both are knuckleheads it seems though...so there is a downside to both of them.
However for me, whether we sign one, both or someone entirely different guy all I want is the following:
-Rebound (offensive and defensive glass)
-Play consistently well on defensively
-play within the system and maximize whatever minutes they get
-run the floor
-finish at the basket
-don't turn over the ball being butter fingered
-and most importantly don't cost us too much money
-stay out of trouble
If they can do that then it doesn't which one they sign in my opinion.
This is my concern with Kwame. He can't/won't/doesn't play within himself. He's always out there trying to "prove" himself to his teammates, coaches, the league. I have horrible visions of Kwame demanding the ball in the post against much better opponents.
Chris Anderson I think would come in and just play his game. Which is rebound, block shots, slam dunks. I don't think he would be throwing up turn around jumper, post up moves, hook shots, etc.
But, what do I know. Kwame has the physical tools to be far more effective against bigger bodies, so that may be the difference when choosing who to sign.
