Well, Anderson has not had the benefit of a training camp or any regular
practice time since he got here. And if you look at the roster, the only
major contributor who remains from Pitino's first season is Walker.
Most likely, this roster should remain somewhat stable for a couple of
years, barring a major trade for a disgruntled All-Star.

Walker has been getting stuffed pretty regularly but I don't recall Anderson
getting blocked much when he drives. In any case, he's been shooting a 
pretty good percentage and getting to the line when he drives to the 
basket.
