Sources told Pacers.com that Anderson will arrive in Indianapolis Friday to finalize a contract with the team. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Anderson reportedly has turned down offers from Miami and Dallas this offseason. Anderson, who turns 33 next month, is the top point guard available on the free agent market. He averaged 6.1 points and 3.2 assists last season with Seattle and New Orleans and has career averages of 13.4 points, 6.4 assists and 1.56 steals. Anderson has been a starter most of his career, including 76 games with Boston in the 2001-02 season when he averaged 9.6 points, 5.3 assists and 1.86 steals. </div> Good signing by Indy...
This is a great signing by the Pacers, and a great move by Kenny. He might even beat out Tinsley as the starter. Kenny is great at running a team's offense and is still capable of hitting the open jump shots consistently. He has had success in the playoffs and will do a good job of getting the athletic players the ball in the right situations.
Anderson offically signed for the Pacers today..here is the press release... http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/anderson_signs_030919.html <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Indiana Pacers have announced the signing of free agent guard Kenny Anderson. Per club policy, terms of the agreement were not released. “This is a very good addition to our team and adds a terrific veteran backcourt man to the mix,” said Pacers President and CEO Donnie Walsh. Anderson, a 6-1, 170-pound guard, played last season with Seattle and New Orleans. He has career averages of 13.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 771 games. Anderson, drafted by the New Jersey Nets out of Georgia Tech, was the second overall draft pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. He has played for New Jersey, Charlotte, Portland, Boston, Seattle and New Orleans in 12 seasons. </div>
Very good signing for the Pacers. He should really help anchor this team, especially when the playoffs come rolling around. He's an underrated PG, and beat up on the Pistons in the playoffs as a Celtic two seasons ago.
In that case it's a very good signing, since there's a chance he will be their starting PG at some point this season...
