Naturalized Chinese star Kyle Anderson takes in his FIBA debut in the 2023 World Cup as one big learning experience, absorbing extreme ups and downs for a retooling Asian basketball program
The Minnesota Timberwolves forward could only helplessly watch as his fellow NBA standout torched the Araneta Coliseum nets with 24 third-quarter points built on 5 threes on the way to a 34-point finish.
“They went up 20. He hit [four] threes in a row, got some tough buckets. Got going. He’s a really good player.” All in all, Gilas’ burial of China was just the rotten cherry on top of an underwhelming World Cup campaign for the Asian powerhouse, but Anderson – who just made his FIBA and China debut this tournament – is ready to go through the growing pains as long as his NBA schedule permits it.
