Kyle Anderson

Anderson will be on a new team, the Timberwolves, this season after spending the past four with the Grizzlies. His workload fluctuated heavily throughout his time in Memphis, but this past year, he averaged 7.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks in 21.5 minutes. Aptly nicknamed "Slo Mo", the UCLA product is a pacing, methodical, ground-bound forward, but he has a high basketball IQ and passes well. Despite a weak three-point shot (33.8 percent across the past three seasons on 2.2 attempts), Anderson's managed to thrive in floater range. An extremely-high 36 percent of his shots came from 4-14 feet, and he converted at a solid 43 percent last year. Sound defense also keeps Anderson relevant in fantasy. He averages 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per 36 minutes for his career. All things considered, he ranked 182nd in per-game fantasy production last season, though he ranked 78th in 27.3 minutes during 2020-21, and he ranked 90th in 26.7 minutes in 2017-18, so he holds standard-league upside when presented with sixth-man minutes. He appears positioned to handle that sort of role in Minnesota but will compete for minutes at forward, primarily with Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince. Anderson is also capable of playing shooting guard or small-ball center in certain lineup combinations, so he figures to possess a high minutes floor. He's risky given the unclear workload, but the potential for a top-100 season is there, and he should be a staple in deep league drafts.
