Ryan Anderson doesn't waste his time with two point jumpers

[Blue_and_Whte]

I like that he attacked the basket more the last game, he wasn't so one dimensional. It also helps that he's surrounded by alot of scorers i'm sure. It's going to be interesting to see how SVG handles Bass/Anderson when Lewis returns since both are playing really well.

[Dr Octagon]

Jay Triano said the 3 is the lowest percentage shot though.

And Anderson is a scrub that explodes against teams that don't play any defence like Toronto and Phoenix.

Triano probably said that to trick Bargs into going into the paint every now and then.

[Kosar86]

The way to winning in today's league is spread the floor and have quick perimeter players attack the rim relentlessly.

Uh, the last 10 titles have been won by the Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, Heat and Pistons

[iounas]

33% shooting for 3 is equal to 50% for 2 so its good but at the end of the game its better to take higher % shots

Luckily most of the Magic hit 3's at a rate far better than 33%.

Yeah, half of the teams are >34% and magic are 43% so the play style works great for them

[eyriq]

The three most efficient shots are the Free Throw, the shot at the rim, and the three. Anderson knows what he is doing.

[MagicMadness]

What usually hurts the Magic is when the 3 isn't falling, yet they continue going to it late in games and just keep on missing (Detroit game, for example).

It can be frustrating, because most of the guys out there have enough talent to get to the hoop (or at least take higher percentage shots) but instead continue chucking in hopes that they'll magically (no pun) turn it on.

Then we end up losing by a couple of points.

Haha. Cliff Levingston enjoys the headline of the article.

Before each game even starts, Ryan Anderson already has 2 made 3's in the boxscore.

[Relentless88]

Anderson >> Lee

What a great trade for the Magic, a steal in Anderson. One of the few bad trades Nets GM has made.

[prekazi]

Which is the smartest thing to do.

To be fair, Anderson probably would have been a complete non-factor if he was on the Nets. Life is REALLY easy for jumpshooters when you are playing with the best center in the league plus multiple other all-stars.

[RockTHECasbah]

Ryan Anderson is a smart man; much like Matthew Bonner

3-pointers rule the World

+1

[realfung]

shooting forward, I don't buy this type of forward but let's see what he can do.

[hoopskillz]

No Carter.

No Pietrus.

No Problem!

[WesWesley]

I like Anderson but he is god awful on the defensive end.

[BubbaTee]

Before each game even starts, Ryan Anderson already has 2 made 3's in the boxscore.

The reason the NBA doesn't have 4-pointers is to stop Ryan Anderson from scoring 50 a game.

[RapsVC15]

So basically he's proven that he could do what Rashard can at 1/20th of the price.
