how he's been doing lately and why the Rockets still looking to sign another center like Peter John Ramos.

still cant make a 3pter w/o chucking one hundred 3's

also having trouble on the boards. brooks and lowry have upped their rebounding average in practice against this guy.

and of corse his defense is the same as having a baby with his hands up in the paint

but other than that everything is ok

nah i keed but id also like to know how this guy is doin. w/ all that experience i cant see him being less than starter quality. not meaning he'll go 17/7, but 10/5 i wouldnt be surprised. i wold be surprised if he loses his starting job to chuck hayes not cuz of defense but cuz of bad offense.

preseason is comin soon, so cot daam

from what I see from all the videos and info on the internet, his role should be Yao Ming's backup by any means, he is not the savior, however his attitude and determination should never be a problem here.

I expect 8points 6 rebounds from this guy this season

All indication is that he's not a Center. He's a frail PF......

how can he be frail when hes 245lbs. thats pefect for a pf weight. he's just not center.

When the Rockets first traded for him I looked him up and thought at time-and still believe-he's a back-up PF that will take Landry's spot.

Meanwhile you post this in our game thread yesterday...

How could you make such a stupid comment ? Ryan anderson is a third string PF on a deep team who put up the same numbers as your starting center. Congrats !! :clap:

I like what I see so far. He's much more mobile and aggressive than I expected.

No, he's not "replacing" Yao, but he should be a good fit on this team, especially this year.

There's a reason why i compared both... they're both frail PFs.

And that post i made in the magics board was in jest. You really think i care that our Andersen is better than yours. Besides the Magics doesn't have an Andersen! You have AndersOn! It was a joke dammit.

he will be a even better fit next year with yao back imo,hes looking like a great back up center
how long did u guys sign him for ?

tisbee · Post #16 » by **tisbee** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 6:04 am

Andersen signed for two yrs w/a team option for a third.

rocketsballin · Post #17 » by **rocketsballin** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 7:39 am

i hope his thin upper body can get boards. i didnt realize he's so thin. listed as 245lbs, looks more like 235. i've been confident in him but daam he looks so daam thin. next offseason should be bulking up, unless it prevents him from playing pf. a thin big if good for fast paced ball, but still...SO DAAM THIN. but w/e he had a good game vs celtics bigs. cannot wait to see him in action. blazers as a first game will be a good test

yeh looks like hes having trouble pull down rebounds,but hes scoring very well
17 points today of 5-5 shooting 7-8 from the line

How can you get rebounds with scola on the team? He knocks his own players down to get boards.

dw boys just a comment in jest.
