Derek Anderson and Matt Carroll have both played great with their increased playing time due to injuries to Brevin Knight and Gerald Wallace. Carroll has improved every aspect of his game in the last 8 games. He’s averaged 36.4 minutes, 16.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in those 8 games. He should continue to get playing time even when Knight returns because he’s a great long range shooter that stretches the other teams defense when he’s on the court.

Derek Anderson wasn’t playing too much until the injuries hit. He’s shown that he still has some game left in the last 8 games he’s played in. He’s averaged 28.6 minutes, 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in those games. He has earned the chance to get some playing time after the injured players return.
