What about David Anderson?

[ggp]

I know nothing about this European player, but word is that he has NBA talent. What is going on with him? Is he a good candidate for us at Center?

[Nicholasp27]

yes

and he's improving constantly

latest word is he's joining the team next fall

has great potential as a backup and, who knows, could surprise us further

[Guest Walter]

This fall or "next" fall? I'd really like to see David Anderson on this team. It's a shame we haven't brought him over already.

next fall, not this fall, unfortunately

he was at a practice in june and they said he'd come over next fall

[Rick]

I'll be seeing David Andersen play tomorrow evening. He is playing for the Australian National side versus the Chinese National Side in Sydney. Unfortunately, none of the Chinese NBA big men are playing, so I'll be unable to compare.

Cheers

since David Anderson is one of the top-paid players in Europe, i think 'next fall' means 'when we no longer suck'

hehe

........he will come over when the Hawks can give him a pretty significant contract. Significant being probably a 3 year deal worth around $12 million.

A rookie who was selected in the 2nd round.

6 mil over 3 years, with a team option on the 3rd year is a great deal for any rookie

We don't know how his game will translate to the nba.

[GTHawk]

A couple of months back on ESPN Insider Chad Ford stated the Hawks should bring him over now. He thought he was one of the better overseas players.

signed a new contract (one year I think) with CSSK or whatever team he plays for in Russia.
