Agreed. Ant can do some of that on the Wolves cause he knows those guys in and out. Not so much with guys he played with for a week. Put the ball in Haliburtons hands to set the offense. It's one of the main reasons he's on the team.

Zero point of having Hali on the court. It’s Ants ball apparently.

Ant might be the best player on the team.

Kid talks the talk, but damn he backs it up!

Anthony Edwards might be right about being the #1 option.

Also, I can't wait til they stop airing this Jayson Tatum Sofi commercial. Obviously financial literacy had nothing to do with your financial success...

Interesting, USA really not shooting any threes. Feels like a late 2000’s game right now. Good game

Ant man playing a good 6th man role, not a starter on Team USA with the gunning style IMO
