3. Ryan Anderson

At 6’10 and 240 pounds, this power forward has the ability to really fit into Stevens spacing system.  He’s a power forward but he stretches the floor beautifully and can knock down the three-ball with no hesitation.  He’s averaging nearly 17 points per game this season to go along with six rebounds.  At 27, Anderson still has a long way to go in his career and it would be fun to see him paired with this Boston club.  He has the ability to put the ball in the basket at a more consistent rate than some of the bigs currently on the Boston roster.  A trade for Anderson would be one of the quiet, low-key trades at the deadline, but it could really boost the Celtics offense in the long run.
