Due to a foot injury, Green missed the first three games of the Golden State Warriors. Whether he will come back in the future is still in doubt. In the last game, with Damian Lee's lore, the Warriors finally won their first victory of the season.
At the same time, Green's absence gave coach Cole more opportunities to use role players. After three games, Cole found forward Anderson was a new discovery for the Warriors.
Anderson is 27 years old this year, his defense is very fierce. In the two games played for the Warriors, Anderson averaged 15 minutes per game, scoring 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1.3 assists, and his performance was very comprehensive.
Cole was very impressed with Anderson. He called Anderson the 2.0 version of Green.
"Anderson is great, he is one of those people who have a deep and deep understanding of the game. He set the screen at the right time, he smoothed at the right time, and he defended at the right time "Z2z
Last season, Anderson played 13 times for the Warriors, averaging 20.9 minutes per game, scoring 5.3 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. With both Green and Chris injured, Anderson will get more opportunities.
Cole praised Anderson's offensive and defensive performance, he said that Anderson's mind is very flexible, basketball IQ is very high.
"He is a bit like Draymond (Green). His brain is always vigilant on both ends of the offense and defense. I am his super fan. He definitely belongs to this league. As long as Draymond is not there, he will continue to play. "Z2z
This season, the Warriors are still plagued by injuries. Thompson is reimbursed for the season because of the injury. Green has been unable to play for a long time. Single-core Curry needs the help of players such as Anderson.
