    Feels like Simons is better if you look at the numbers when he starts. Interesting discussion.

    22 year old Dame had LaMarcus and a bunch of other established vets making sure he didn't have the kind of freedom that Ant has had. Also we shouldn't compare rookie Dame to fourth year Ant. We also shouldn't compare 18 year old Ant to 22 year old Dame. Their journeys are very very different but let's not pretend that Dame at 22 had already been given the same chance to develop his game as Ant has at 22. Could Ant's career end up better than Dame's? I mean anything is possible but it's not very likely. I'm rooting for Ant though, if we keep him or if we trade him I'll be hoping for the best for him.

    As the poll results would indicate, this can't be real...

    Dame was free to be the starting PG from day 1. Playing with good players makes it easier to shine, not harder

    Of course a dog would think that.

    As a cat, I think this thread is terrible solely because 22 year old Ja Morant isn't an option.

    But cats also think they actually do something?

    Doesnt matter whos better. Roundball is a team sport. Individual accomplishments may be nice, but its not what matters. What matters is how many games you win, playoff series you win, and championship is the pie alamode.

    Objecting to this poll because it doesn't consider 22-year-old Blevins.

    i had a cat that would fetch. Had a rubber thumb thimble from my post office. Id place it on my knee and flick it across the room and bounce it off the wall and the cat would sometimes get to it before it bit the ground and return it immediately.
    Unlike dogs, cats only show thier intelligence when they feel like it.
    Humans own dogs but cats own humans.
