When was the last time we saw that type of disruptive "Vandy defensive energy" from a non-current Timberwovles player?

I would say the Drunken Dribbler, but I didn't think he was that great defensively.

Out of room on my bus Floriduh, but Jester just commissioned a new one for all you late-comers!

While Vando's fanclub has great respect for Mr. Brewer (he delivered the keynote speech at our annual conference last year when our group was still fledgling, i.e. it was just me), we definitely think Jarred will eventually have a much more distinguished career. But the Drunken Dribbler will always have a place in our hearts!

If there is one criticism in Ant's game, he needs to stop playing Troy Hudson.

You guys remember TH? Played like the shot clock was 4 seconds and not 24.

In his last game, I think his first 3 point attempt was like at the 20 second shot clock mark and his teammates were not even set on offense. That was vintage TH.

Ant's gotta play within the structure of the game.

We do not have a structure. Have not forever. I for one, can not wait for this team to be sold and see a full overhaul of the FO.

Hudson is probably playing in some men's league... drawing headshakes from a big who rolls... yet has never seen a pass on the pNr.

Well, part of the system is if you have a clean look at a 3, take it. So he might be playing within the structure of the offense with those shots. In fact, I'd argue that Edwards overall has very much tried to play within the system by either going to the rim or taking 3s, with very little in between. I just wish he made more of them. But as usual, we see zero improvement in shooting from our draft picks from year to year. Meanwhile, LaMelo has had no problem becoming a better shooter in Charlotte versus his 25% mark in the NBL last year. So frustrating.

I'm willing to see Ant take tough or bad shots just to see if he can become an elite shooter down the road. If he's in year 3, shooting the same shot at the same percentage, then we have an issue. He's only 19 so I'm not going to be over critical off the bat.
