But lets not be hasty. I can still see him altering shots and getting boards. He should just play limited minutes and maybe Faried can pick some of those minutes up.
Can’t judge on anyone until mid-late Jan IMO.
Lets just win games in the meantime.

Let’s not get crazy. w/this short hectic schedule we need all 15 players and I’m sure once those back to back to backs start everyone will get minutes.

I also think with the crush of games he will be forced to extend the rotation and give minutes to the rook…I think next week is like 6 games in 8 days.

Andersen is someone who is easy to undervalue because his offensive game doesn’t fit with our expectations but his value as a defensive player & rebounder are important to team success. I could understand wanting to upgrade in those areas or wanting to free up time for Faried but I don’t see a strong argument for removing those qualities from the current team.

It’s far too early to draw more than tentative conclusions at this point. I have problems with the 3-point shooting and the lack of offensive rebounds, but I can’t see removing Bird as helping this.
