Young player. This is what happens occasionally.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Looks like he should’ve punched the wall instead McDaniels, the Wolves might have won.

Imagine you lost for years to draft your franchise player only to have him play like Lu Dort in a must win game. Brutal

Wolves are cursed, Ant man can only do so much, and he had a bad game tonight. KAT doing nothing, and the myriad of mistakes by Prince and Anderson were more alarming to me.

Lol I love the petty bumps when a player has a bad game. It's a hilarious and important part of RealGM.

It’s one thing to brick threes it’s another when he’s not even close to any of them. He dribbled the air out of the hall too going nowhere with it. The team was up in spite of him most of the game and when they needed him to do something he continued to dribble the **** out of the ball either chucking and bricking a three or passing to a teammate with 5 seconds left without doing anything with the ball previously.

An all time bad performance.

Seriously though. What happened to him? He seemed off, like some personal issue or something.

Think people too hard on a 21 year on. How many players his age or younger even gets to his level. He going to be back even better.

He had on shoulder tape. His shoot looked more off than a usual bad game.

He did nothing when it mattered, and backed down from so many mismatches I wondered if he even wanted to play at the end. Absolute clownshow from the "franchise player". He just let the rest of his team lose the game for him.

Ant Edwards is a perfect example of why advanced numbers > raw numbers.

His raw numbers look great at a glance, but you peak and little more and realize he's greatly overrated. I say overrated because he was selected to the all-star game.

This performance he had was just historically bad. In an important game too. KAT was terrible last season, Ant was terrible in this one. Can they co-exist with one another?

He shouldn’t have played after the bad fall. Dude was clearly not well, just unfortunate.

Antman isn't a grizzled vet; he's 21 years old. Some of the takes in this thread are very short-sighted.

He had one bad game. At least he didn't give up.
