Ryan Anderson is classified as a stretch-four player, a commodity that has taken the basketball world by storm in the spaced-out game the NBA is evolving into.
A stretch-four is exactly what the Nuggets need – a guy that can run both ends of the floor effectively without hesitation.
This will be Anderson’s first go around as an unrestricted free agent, and he has made it known he has been looking forward to it.
“I’m excited for this summer to kind of be an unrestricted free agent, finally, and feel things out,” Anderson said on The Vertical Podcast, “have my decision be the one that matters.”
Anderson can shoot at a high rate, and drain shots from behind the arc, arguably the biggest needs Denver must address this offseason. The fact that he could do that at the four is that much more intriguing.
Again, like most free agents, Anderson will look to cash in on the rise in the salary cap, meaning the Nuggets will have to break open the piggy bank to attract Anderson to the Mile High City.
