I'm going to make a statue for Andy some day. Cast it out of Bronze, this dude needs to have a statue of himself in the arena some day. Not that he's the greatest player or anything, but he really epitomizes what the organization is striving to do.
He's gotten progressively better every year, we've really seen this dude grow. Varejao in the San Antonio finals was not this capable of a player. Anderson has steadily improved himself, and his understanding of the game while keeping his energy constant. His energy has always been a constant. He's firey in bursts, but not to a fault. Dion is capable of torching you too if you get him in the right mood, Russell Westbrook is another one who is just so emotional, to a fault? Varejao provides you that edge, but without the unnecessary emotional stuff. He doesn't let that stuff get to his focus, he'll just keep playing.
He's added things to his game I'd never imagined he would, and I think part of that is because James is no longer here to spoon feed him easy looks. I think the three man game between this version of Varejao, James and Irving would be fucking lethal. If we could add Marc Gasol somehow some way to that........... holy shit, that might be an instant title contender.
