    SGA is mentioned every time I turn on a game. MVP this MVP that. Now as for Ant? He’s the best player on the best team in the west while players like KD, Booker, AD, LeBron, and Curry are battling to make the play-in.

    How did the Spurs draft Wembenyama then get worse the next year?

    they were worse last year too. They traded DeJonte Murray, somehow went on a 5 game win streak, then became the team bad enough to draft Wemby.

    Down 3 with 3 seconds left, Anthony Edwards missed 3 straight free throws.

    It’s just such a HORRIBLE take, I was giving you and out. The ability to blame your phone or something. Well, you had your chance.

    Well, let’s see, by almost every metric, SGA is better: PPG, ASSTS, REBS, BLKS, FG%, FTA/FTM/FT%, TS%.

    SGA is 3rd in the league in PER. Edwards is 50th in PER.

    SGA also leads the league in steals per game.

    SGA averages 1.5 less turnovers per game on a slightly higher usage rate.

    The only thing Anthony Edwards does better than SGA is 3PT%.

    So yeah, not so HORRIBLE.

    Hoping the Nets can keep it up today and work their way above Golden State in the standings.
