I mean 29/5/2 on 10-21 from the field, 5-11 from 3, 4-4 from the line. And he is still just 20 years old. Not to mention he has those kinds of shooting numbers while being a huge guard with truly elite athleticism.

Im more in the group that watches this game and thinks, "I dont get how anyone can watch this game and not be all in with the ANT hype?"

He's not even as quick as he was back before he had knee issues starting in late January

wow, I think they should have doubled Ant or denied him the ball. It's clear that no one can defend him 1-on-1.

Ja versus Ant in the first round has the potential for some crazy highlights

This game is far more competitive than I initially thought.

Entertaining.

Are you serious lol


His game is definitely pretty and his first step is special but doesn't do much off ball, doesn't create much for others, and is meh on D. I don't know, as awful as Lamelo is on D, he just shines a lot more when I watch the Hornets for example.

The Wolves offense just completely opened up when KAT went to the bench.

at some point KAT is going to have to hand over the keys to the franchise to Edwards

Elite during crunch time, wavers off-ball, though. Potential, but he needs to be consistent throughout games.

Clippers pulled a mental collapse, but Wolves recovered well when KAT fouled out

Gratz Wolves. The commentary couldn't have said it better earlier: you can't teach and trade for heart.
