The Physical Game
Sanderson has to learn and desire to fight his way through checkers. He is wiry but gets outmuscled, and although his speed keeps him clear of a lot of traffic, he has to battle when the room isn't there. He would benefit if the team added a little muscle up front.
The Intangibles
Sanderson looked lost after being traded twice and was a spare part in Buffalo in the playoffs. He has to decide how badly he wants a full-time job.
Projection
Sanderson dropped below the radar last season. The question is whether he wants to work harder to become an elite player or if he is content being a very good one. Last year he wasn't even that and his future is cloudy.
