Bill Walton Says Andersen Is A Top 20 Talent
"If you look real close during this Wednesday's telecast, try to pick up in the background one Chris Anderson. This guy -- who never really made it to college and was the first ever callup from the NBDL -- is a top 20 talent in the NBA. Watch out for HIM if he ever figures it out."
Anyone agree?

Top 20 is a stretch... But he should definitely contribute at the power spot's on the Nuggz... It's time to let him split mins at the 4 wit Nene the foulin machine... The more time he get's the closer he'll become to a dub dub player... Peace

Chris Andersen is closer to a bottom 20 talent than a top 20 talent. Walton is a weedhead.

Chris Andersen has the talent to be a Dennis Rodman type of player. He really brings a unique style of play to our team and he can eventually become a very important part of the us. He's had an excellent start to the season, I've got high expectations of this guy.
Bill Walton prolly means "Andersen will surprise a few", don't take the top 20 thing too serious.  |

Bill Walton also said 'Greg Ostertag is one of the greatest centers in the history of Western Civilization!'

I'd say he has as much potential as Tyson Chandler, and and the best mentor for his playing style in Marcus Camby.

Yeah, I agree on the NBDL. Those guys will never amount to anything, just like guys who don't get drafted. Like Brad Miller and Ben Wallace.

Chris Anderson will NEVER be in the top 60% of all NBA players.

Geez, I hope a little of this is sarcasm... First off - some players are late developers, and therefore could go undrafted... But these same players can still make an impact in the NBA...
As for Chris Andersen... Not only was he the first ever call up from the NBDL... But he was also the first ever number one pick in the first ever NBDL draft... Okay, its not like being Patrick Ewing and being the first Lottery pick ever - but it's worth something...
Andersen is freaky athletic... When he gets a head of steam behind him, he can be throw down with the best of them... He's also a shot blocking / rebounding threat in the same light as Marcus Camby - as the KnicksBiggestFan mentioned... And luckily, he hasn't shown himself to be injury prone...
If he can become a better shooter, then top 50% of the League is a gimme... If he can become a great shooter - then top 20 no doubt... As it stands, he's a backup forward for the Denver Nuggets - so I won't make a statement on where he stands for now...
But kid's got potential... Big time...
