Usually, when Naz plays badly, Reid also sucks.

When I watch Ant play and his development I break it down really into 3 elements (more if you want to analyze his defense). The first two things I look for are his 2 PT FG efficiency and the number of times he gets to the line per game. I'm looking for Ant to be above 50% from 2 PT FG and get to the line 5-6+ times per game. If he does those two things he's going to be a good player even if he is streaky as a shooter.

I don't mind Ant's streakiness as a shooter as long as he is doing those two things. If he goes 4-11, that's 36%... the difference of two missed 3 point shots or not doesn't really move the needle to me either way. I think he will get more consistent from the 3 point line, but will always have some high volume minus shooting games.

I think the fact that Ant went 6-11 from 2 PT, got to the line 12 times, and chipped in 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1 steal, and 1 TO is a positive game for me despite adding in his streaky shooting performance from 3 point land.
