All this week, Ryan Anderson has been in the news for his summer regiment. Joel Meyers, the Pelicans play-by-play announcer, quipped that Anderson appears to be in the best shape of his life. The team's new strength and conditioning coach, Jason Sumerlin, has singled him out as well, crediting a high-intensity training program. Peers like Quincy Pondexter have also sung his praises.
"He's really gotten his explosiveness back. We expect him to play at a high level and believe in him." -@QuincyPondexter on @ryananderson33
