Yeah, his length is such an asset for him. And if he plays hard like he has the first two games, he will be a plus defender. I thought JK would be a plus defender based on what I saw from him last season with Atlanta, but Ball's defense has been a pleasant surprise. He and Ant seem to be feeding of...

I can see how Melo is susceptible to injury the way he plays. He initiates and takes a lot of contact and he's not really built for that.

Hornets get destroyed tonight by 40+. They really struggled on offense. They are missing White and Kon but I can’t imagine what is going through the fans minds

Ball: B Ant: D+ Jaden: A- Kuminga: B+ Rudy: B Ayo: A TSJ: A- Lyles: A- Beringer: B+ Bones: B- All grades are based on how I think they are relative to their normal ability I'd slightly downgrade Ball to a B- or C+. He was inefficient with his shooting and had less than a 2:1 asst to turnover ratio....

You’re the best Tim

Ball: B
Ant: D+
Jaden: A-
Kuminga: B+
Rudy: B
Ayo: A
TSJ: A-
Lyles: A-
Beringer: B+
Bones: B-

Probably a good sign that wolves are up 20 and Ant has a rough offensive game

The bench has just been fantastic tonight

Get Ant off the court please
