Ant is my guy. But I would like to see him round out his bag. Get that midrange elite. Every team that doesn't have the splash bros needs an elite mid range shooter to get the finals. SGA also looks like the second coming of Bean.


Clippers should feel like fools trading him away
You mean Kahwi should feel like a fool. Clippers had no choice

ALSO LUKA AND KYRIE
DID ANT THE SAME WAY
IN LAST YEARS WCF.

THIS IS ONE OF THE
DOWNFALLS OF HAVING
PLAYOFF SUCCESS BEFORE YOU REACH
YOUR PEAK.

YOURE GONNA RUN INTO
BETTER PLAYERS AT THEIR PEAKS

BRON/KD 2012
:devil:
:evil:

This applies to Tatum and Brown too

The high level creator who can point the entire team where to go while looking for their own shot just has so much more control of the game.

Ant is still young but hopefully he can learn that. Relying on teammates (directing them where to go if need be) is really steroids to open up your own opportunities. Your teammates don’t even have to be all the exceptional/individually skilled when you’re a maestro and putting them in positions to make the game easier for yourself. You don’t even have to be on some Luka shyt, just pass enough to keep an entire defense honest and off-balance. I always like to see a floor general directing the team where to go whether they got the ball or not.
On top of all this is the control and it’s the mistake-free, reliable nature that SGA got.

You want some in a game like yesterday where you can give the ball to them time and time again and they won’t make a big mistake.

Then there’s that assist to Jalen Williams that was absolutely wild. That was probably the most clutch play this year.

Game 3 was a fluke
Nah I wouldn't say that. I mean the 40 ball sure but any team worth shyt is gonna give their absolute best effort down 0-2 going home. Game 4 did give us the real...Minny's big guns just aint that when the opponent aint old or fat :manny:.

My original post was regarding age vs experience. I feel like experience matters more when determining a player’s prime than their age. You can say Anthony Edwards will be in his prime going into his 6th season as a 24 year old. Damian Lillard was not entering his prime going into his only his 3rd season as a 24 year old. You may feel otherwise, but I disagree.

Also, I didn’t just make up this notion that players enter their primes at 27. I’ve heard plenty of analysts say that and I disagree with them because I feel the number of years matter more than their age.
