3 Takeaways From The Memphis Grizzlies Home Loss Against The Brooklyn Nets

Kyle Anderson Is Balling

Kyle Anderson had a fantastic game as he recorded his first career triple-double as he finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.

He is one of the few bright spots for a team that has not been winning many games recently. On the season he is averaging 8.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists but recently he is at another level.

In the last 21 games, he is averaging 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He is getting it done on both ends of the floor.

He has really improved his offensive game during this stretch and it has led to him being much more confident and aggressive in every aspect of the game.

We all know about his defensive ability but his offensive impact is key for a team that has really struggled even though it hasn’t translated into wins.

He has become very confident in his mid-range jump shot from the top of the key. If he can continue to hit that shot and make the defense go over on screens it could open up a lot more for the screener rolling toward the basket.

The way that he has been playing has made him completely earn his contract he got this past offseason. He’s looking like a cornerstone for the future of this team.

This team needs him to continue to play at a high level. The rest of the team will come around eventually, if they can rely on Anderson on a nightly basis that will be key.
