Ryan Anderson is a name that fans are familiar with, he never really became a mainstay of a team, but it has appeared in the rise of many teams, and he is also the biggest beneficiary of it.
Ryan Anderson wasn't too brilliant in high school, being named a 4-star high school student and only 22nd in the National College Rankings for Big Forwards and 98th overall. The University of California, Berkeley, which he chose to join, is not a basketball school, but Ryan Anderson has won the favor of NBA scouts with steady three-pointers and positive rebounds.
He averaged five three-pointers, 18.7 points and nine rebounds per game in college, a performance that was selected for the Second Team in the United States, and in 2008, when the three-point shooting trend of the big forwards began, Anderson was selected by the New Jersey Nets, and In the rookie season, Anderson became a substitute for Yi Jianlian, and in the second half of the season, he played the team's starting lineup, Anderson's rebounding rate reached a staggering 9.3%, and he was once in the top five in the league, although his three-point shooting was only 36.5%, But his enthusiasm was obviously what the Nets liked when they had no desires.
Anderson got the opportunity to start in the last 30 games of the new season, the average data also came to 7.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, after the rookie season, Anderson was sent to the Magic as the addition of the Carter trade, in exchange for Alstom and Courtney Lee, in the first two seasons of the Magic, Ryan Anderson was used as a substitute, but still maintained the contribution of three points and basketball, and the data was more general.
But in the 2011-12 season, Anderson was promoted to the starting big forward position, and his and Howard's cooperation suddenly played a role in mutual achievement, Anderson started 61 games, averaging 16.1 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, such a performance made him the most improved player of the year award, it is worth mentioning that in this season he shot 422 three-pointers, hit 166 of them, both of which are the first in the league.
On Howard's side, Anderson made the league's first three-pointer while he shot 39.3 percent. At the end of the season, Anderson got the chase of the entire league, and finally he chose to sign first and then change, joining the New Orleans Hornets at the time, this 4-year, 36 million contract, making Anderson the most expensive substitute in the league, although he is not a starter, but has unlimited right to fire.
Anderson shot 213 three-pointers in his first season with the Hornets, ranking second in the league, and in the second year after the renaming pelicans, Anderson hit 36 points in a single game, but at this time, her girlfriend who had been in love with her for many years chose to fall off the building and die, Anderson said that after his girlfriend committed suicide, he could not extricate himself until he collided with Gerald Wallace in the game, seriously injured in the neck, and he began to realize that the best way to miss the old man was to try to play every game.
In his second year, although he only played 22 games, he averaged 19.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, because of hernias and knee sprains, Anderson averaged only 13.7 points per game in his third season, but the next season's state recovery averaged 17 points per game, and the Rockets, which have been playing a small game, suddenly played a 4-year, 80 million DOLLAR contract, bringing him to Houston, and in the inflationary 2016, Anderson became the biggest beneficiary.
At the age of 28, he also became the team's starter for the first time, but at Harden's side, Anderson did not have many offensive opportunities, although she played 72 starts and each game had 29.4 minutes of playing time and could highlight a 40.3% three-point shooting rate, but Anderson was almost used as an auxiliary turret, worth 20 million Anderson, The assistant's 10.7 only 7 three-pointers per game, long-range shooting became his only means of scoring, 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds performance is far from the level of 20 million, this year, with Anderson from the Pelicans to the Rockets Eric Gordon quickly integrated into the running bomb system, but Anderson can neither get stuck on the inside, nor can he play the center of the small ball tactical system, and its former on-field rebounds are not the same level as they were then, reduced to chicken ribs, In the playoffs, Anderson averaged just 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, shooting less than 40 percent.
The following year Paul arrived, Anderson let the number three out, changed to the number 33 jersey, but he became dispensable, as the Rockets completely began to play small ball, Anderson was relegated to the bench in the second half of the season, and in the playoffs, he was reduced to a water dispenser, and Mr. Tangtang 20 million could only get 9 minutes of playing time per game, averaging 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, laughing generously, people gave him a mocking nickname, "Standing Mamba" showed that he could only stand on the court and wait for the pass to shoot three points. It is also a mockery that he has contributed nothing with a big contract, his big contract has seriously hurt the team, and his own state has plummeted.
In the summer of 2018, the Rockets sent Anderson to the Suns in exchange for another garbage contract, Brandon Knight and Markis Chris. To this end, the Rockets also sent off the rookie Melton, who had high hopes. Half a year later, Anderson was traded to the Heat, also in exchange for garbage contracts Tyler Johnson and Ellington, half a year later the Heat directly cut the remaining year of the contract, in order to help the Rockets better trade themselves, he agreed to reduce the last year of the contract to $15.6 million in 2018, such behavior makes him and the Rockets have the possibility of renewing the frontier.
In the summer of 2019, the Rockets signed Anderson with a base salary, but in the end he only played 2 games, a total of only 5 points and 7 rebounds, he finally did not return to the level of that year, and even the strength of the base salary was not enough, the Rockets paid a 500,000 guarantee gold medal to lay him off, at the age of 31, Anderson completely faded out of the league, and his career ended an unsatisfactory end.
Yi Jianlian contenders the fastest improving player, Warcraft's best partner, the Rockets' worst contract, every impression about Anderson is so deep, but there is not much left.
