Ant had 15 points 4 assists, 4 steals and a block. Just 2 rebounds though. What a bum. :lol:

He was pretty incredible on D.

On O he was forceful but had the two turnovers. Loose handle. His shot looked pretty amazing.

Cool. It's great to have him coach by Kerr for a couple months. Hopefully, Kerr will give him some tips on how to become a champion.

For sure.

I think he can fine tune his balance between drawing a lot of attention / driving into traffic and making the easy read / pass.

He’ll never be Haliburton that way, but this is a great opportunity for Ant to further some of those skills.

Like Finch says, as soon as they start to double, you’ve done your job. It just seems like Edwards sometimes gets a little too deep in those double-team weeds. Sometimes it’s not a true double team but more of him exploring seams. Same Finch concept applies, however.

Kind of a weird comment to make and I do know you’re being facetious. Did you watch the game?

Another big opportunity this presents is building relationships. A lot of the "super teams" that have formed through the years were relationships that started with Team USA. Minnesota is on the rise and Ant is entrenched here, maybe somewhere down the line one of his teammates will want to join him here.

Ant looked fantastic in the first friendly. My only fear is Kerr is going to play him a TON of minutes because outside of Bridges, he's easily the best wing defender of the bunch.

A back to back against the #1 ranked team doesn't sound like a Friendly to me!

Watch on YouTube

This year, I really hope to see much more empty side pick-n-rolls and skip passes when Gobert is rolling. If McDaniels can develop same passing and rebounding skills as Batum (Batum was an elite wing rebounder and pick-n-roll passer in POR) our offense will be unstoppable

I love Reaves’ game so much offensively.

Murphs56 · Post #72 » by **Murphs56** » Sat Aug 12, 2023 8:36 pm

Ant's on the ball defense has been absolutely incredible.

Not a Dominant game from Ant but my word, down the stretch he was incredible on both ends.
