Anfernee almost never ever misses a shot during post game highlights (99% FG shooting!). His offense looks slick as hell in video analysis. Ant's ability to hit multiple 3's per contest makes him a very popular fantasy team addition. Simons is also the worst rated individual defender in the NBA. A purely offensive combo Guard starting next to the All-NBA, but bad at D, All-Star point guard Damian Lillard. Matching them together makes for exciting offense, but rough outings on the defensive end. New Blazer Jerami Grant joined the "coach doesn't make us play defense" party. The Lillard/Ant/Grant big 3 all plummeted into the bottom 10 worst defensive rated players in the NBA last season. Final impressions & results? The #3 pick this summer is an amazing achievement. Drafting Sharpe last summer was a terrific idea. The continued usage of a Blazers team that is terrible at defense might be an unpleasant fan experience at times, but it is most definitely helping Portland acquire amazing rookies.
so far, 17-2 for trading. I'm not sure Orlando would give up the 11th pick for him; maybe. The 6th pick no way, IMO
I can't answer this... If Dame is staying, we trade him for a veteran. If Dame is leaving, we trade him for picks or young talent.
