He's gotten a lot better at that pocket pass to Rudy from the top of the key too. It doesn't always work for profit, but it's good to see the development

There is almost nothing left for him to develop when it comes to scoring at this point. Would really love his camp and coach Hines to convince him that he could be among the league leaders in assists (intentional hyperbole) if he spent an offseason working on passing.

Getting to the line tonight too...and making them!

100% agree
I will say this tho, a consistent phenomenon that I have notice is that I'm often surprised at how low Ants assist numbers are in game because during most games it feels like he's playmaking more than the assist numbers indicate.

In this game for example he only has 3 but I could have sworn it would be closer to 5 or 6

One thing Ant can work on is the bank shot...seems like he's often too strong on it, and seems to be about 33%. Either put it back in the holster or develop it.

Who the hell is that lady screaming every time Ant takes a free throw??? It's not working!

Ru gon get that 3 pointer one of these days

Ha, Rudy getting away with a shove on Jackson on that offensive rebound!

The Grizz are playing Ant to shoot. They are soft hedging off the shooters. The gameplan shows they feel confident they can contain him. I can't say I hate his reads

*Checks scoreboard*

It's a bold strategy cotton, let's see if it works out for em

Watching that last possession by Rudy shows you why they ignore him. Just had bricked a 3. Then bricks a layup, bricks a dunk, then bricks 2 free throws, gets the rebound and drives from the 3 point line to brick a runner that lead a to a Memphis fast break. Just painful

My God Naz. What a shooter.
