Dixon not the Juan

odensque drops Dixon, picks up R. Anderson

 

Recently picked up Juan Dixon, discussed here, has been very ineffective (2 points in 15 minutes tonight), despite starting 4 of his last 6 games.

Ryan Anderson is an interesting prospect. He's a big, white PF/C type in his first year out of Cal. The exciting part is that he's shown good range and can hit 3-pointers (10 for 16 from 3 thus far). He's getting pretty limited minutes overall, but he had two very nice games (admittedly against the defensively challenged Hawks) last week, averaging 16/5 and 3 3s. He came back to earth on Tuesday ( 2 pts, 3 reb), but still got 17 minutes. His minutes prospects are unclear: the Ba-Boone is still out, but word is that Yi is hurt.

Judgment: We like this pickup - Anderson was certainly on the collective radar, as the 3 shooting big man, though often the bees in ones pants, is nonetheless a scarce commodity. Dixon isn't getting much done, in any event.
