    How do you get back spasms when you have:

    IrefuseTomaketheEffortToDunkTheBallitis

    He should rub this cream into his back:

    GrowApairandStopWithTheWeakAzzLayupsYou're6'11"Cream


    Other than that, I like his game. Don't expect him to be young-Shaq, but you can throw down Gortat Style :rolleyes: I know Gortat is 4 yrs younger, but still.

    btw, I would love to have Gortat backing up Yao. But our luck, he would join the rox at age 32 and no hops.

    because he sucks. has anyone ever noticed that when david andersen gets the ball in the post, he never passes it back out?

    once you give him the ball in the post, you're not getting it back. he always forces up a shot.

    The coaches tell him to be more aggressive and score, DA is a pretty good low post scorer.

    He needs to bulk up this summer so he can bang a lil harder and not get pushed out the paint so often.

    or maybe he should work out with tim grover so he can jump like in his toron.....Aussie league days

    David has shown flashes. His only problem is that he gets absolutely destroyed on defense. He is demolished just about every single time.

    However, his offense is pretty good, just needed time to adjust to the NBA. He has a good post game and good on jumpers.

    He needs to make sure he gets his FG% up all the way around, which I think is starting to come around. He is very skilled offensively but he has taken long to adjust. Other than that he needs to work on his defense somehow, it's the main thing that will keep him off the floor. Rebounds and defense are major weaknesses he has on his game.

    He definitely needs to bulk up. Another 10-15 lbs of muscle could do him a world of good. He doesn't have the strength to defend NBA players. He loses his shooting legs, when he defends bigger players. I think Bill Worrel mentioned this during a game.

    Andersen shoots about 50% from either side of the post, so I'd rather he be a black hole there than be timid.

    For comparison, Luis shoots about 36.5% from either side of the post.

    Andersen isn't very good.

    He hurts the team more than he helps it, that is for sure. With his complete lack of defense, and is inability to rebound.

    David Anderson needs to train with Dawson and Hakeem in the off-season.
