Ant and Randle pairing 

Post#1 » by winforlose » Tue Dec 31, 2024 8:26 pm

So eye test says this is a terrible two man pairing. It seems to get worse when you add non shooters. Is anyone good enough with advanced stats or have access to them via cleaning the glass to examine Ant and Randles impact on players as opposed to Ant or Randle’s impact on those same players?

Simply hasn't worked so far. Ironically, they are too similar. Like to attack from the same spot, hold the ball for as long as possible, not good passer as far as timing for the guy receiving the ball.

There is a great thread on general board - "The NBA has figured out Anthony Edwards" which gets to a lot of what's not working for Ant. The first few post were great and I haven't read all of it yet.

Totally agree. We are mid season and it doesn't work and will probably never. Last night was a good example.
