David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Andersen, who is playing for Australia in the Olympics, said that he'd like to return to the NBA.

Andersen has spent some time playing in Italy since we last saw him in the NBA. "My agent is working pretty hard on some things right now, and hei s just going to keep talking to some teams to see if something pops up," he said. That doesn't make it sound like there is very much interest in his services, and Andersen acknowledged that if he can't return to the NBA, he'll take his game back to Europe.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

The Hornets waived F/C David Andersen on Thursday.

He'll likely be picked up by another team, but shouldn't be worth owning.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

Former Hornets big man David Andersen has reportedly signed a deal with the Italian team Montepaschi Siena.

Andersen has kicked around the league as a backup center with a decent jumpshot, but he won't be missed in fantasy circles. In 103 NBA appearances, he averaged 4.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12 minutes per game.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

Hornets center David Andersen had six points and six rebounds off the bench on Sunday, picking up extra minutes once Emeka Okafor (strained hip) left the game.

Andersen and Jason Smith (16 minutes) will play the bulk of minutes at center if Emeka Okafor misses any games, but right now it's not clear whether he will or not. Regardless, neither backup is worth a speculative add.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

Veteren big man David Andersen has been traded from Toronto to New Orleans.

Andersen, a backup center, is averaging 5.1 points and 3.1 rebounds this season. He has decent range with his jumpshot and gives New Orleans welcome frontcourt depth, but won't have fantasy appeal.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Andersen played through the flu in Saturday's game, scoring four points on 2-of-6 shooting with five rebounds and no assists.

He threw up at Customs but that couldn't keep a good man down. Projectile vomiting set aside, he is buried in the rotation and has no fantasy value at this time.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Andersen missed Wednesday's gamd with flu-like symptoms.

Just doing due diligence here, as Andersen has no fantasy value.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Anderson (back) returned to action on Wednesday, scoring nine points on 2-of-4 shooting with four rebounds and no assists in 17 minutes.

He's buried on the depth chart and is unlikely to have value in fantasy leagues this year.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Andersen (back) sat out the Raptors' exhibition on Sunday.

We'll update Andersen's status once more is known. For now it looks like (at best) he'll carve out a niche off Toronto's bench.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

The Raptors acquired veteran big man David Andersen this summer, though it's unclear where he'll fit into the rotation.

As pointed out by the Toronto Star, "Toronto already has Andrea Bargnani and Amir Johnson as expected frontcourt starters and drafted a young big man in Ed Davis." There is no reason for fantasy owners to draft Andersen, who spent nine seasons playing in Italy, Russia, and Spain. On a side note, the Raptors didn't cut into their $14.5 million trade exception to acquire him.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

The Raptors have acquired center David Andersen from the Rockets for cash and a second-round pick.

The jump-shooting big man will likely fill a reserve role in Toronto's frontcourt, but could have a little bit of value in deeper leagues if he gets enough run. Andersen averaged just 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds last season, but on the 15 occasions he received 20 or more minutes, his averages escalated to 10.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

Rockets big man David Andersen (sore lower back) is expected to miss the remainder of season for precautionary reasons.

Andersen provided Houston with some length and frontcourt flexibility, especially with Yao Ming out of commission, but he never had a big impact. He'll probably play a bit role off some team's bench again next season.

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Andersen (back) did not play Sunday against the Pacers.

With the Rockets getting healthier by the day, it is unlikely that he returns to have any fantasy value.

Sun, Apr 4, 2010 09:08:00 PM

David Andersen - F/C - Pelicans

David Andersen (back) will not play against the Wizards on Tuesday.

With Andersen, Kevin Martin, Shane Battier and Jared Jeffries all out, it's going to be minutes galore for anyone with a warm body in Houston. Still, it's hard to trust any of the Chuck Hayes, Jordan Hill, Kyle Lowry, Chase Budinger types. They aren't good enough to be effective in long minutes.

Depth Charts

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Greivis Vasquez Sidelined Greivis Vasquez (ankle) has started his rehab process. Vasquez started the work on Monday after requiring surgery, but he's expected to be ready to roll for training camp. We're not very concerned about Vasquez, but it's a situation to monitor during the offseason in the event he suffers a setback. Jun 11
	2	Brian Roberts
SG	1	Eric Gordon Sidelined Eric Gordon (ankle) started his rehab about a month ago. Gordon is going through a similar rehab process to Greivis Vasquez (ankle), but Gordon is doing his in Los Angeles. "I think he's a couple of weeks out and he's back to normal," Monty Williams said. The Pelicans have to be hoping that Gordon can finally stay healthy for most if not all of the coming season. Jun 11
	2	Austin Rivers Sidelined Austin Rivers (hand) is now "back to normal," according to Monty Williams. Rivers was given the OK to ditch his cast previously, and it's good to know Rivers is at 100 percent health well before we get deep into the summer. "He's working out, lifting and doing all the stuff that coaches have him doing," Williams said. Rivers is expected to spend time at both guard spots again in 2013/14. Jun 11
	3	Roger Mason Jr.
	4	Terrel Harris
	5	Xavier Henry
SF	1	Al-Farouq Aminu
	2	Lance Thomas
	3	Darius Miller
PF	1	Anthony Davis Sidelined Anthony Davis (knee) is now 100 percent healthy after missing the final stretch of the regular season with a sprained MCL. Davis has been fully healthy for about two weeks now. He did not require any kind of surgery and is fully expected to participate in Team USA's mini-camp in July alongside teammate Ryan Andersen. Davis will not participate in summer league, and that's not a huge surprise considering he proved he could play in his first year. Jun 7
	2	Ryan Anderson
	3	Louis Amundson
C	1	Robin Lopez
	2	Jason Smith Sidelined Jason Smith is continuing his rehab from shoulder surgery, but he will not be able to do any basketball work until training camp. Smith underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in March, and as a result he will have a challenge to be ready by the time the regular season opens up. Smith's contract only calls for $1 million guaranteed if he's waived before June 30th, but since he's only slated to make $2.5 million next season, it's really a $1.5 million deal, and that seems pretty reasonable for a backup big man of his caliber.
