    People can say one well-played game without them is just coincidental. Now it seems like it's two... How many will it take before it might seem that the two highest players are actually a drag on the team?

    Shaedon is playing like Simons should play, but realistically can't.

    When AytonAnt play we get 45 points blowout by Memphis third stringers who play some Yuki 5'8" PG

    AytonAnt sit and were on pace to beat the WCF team back to back.

    Not a coincidence!

    I will be so happy when Ant and Grant are gone. They add zero to team chemistry.

    I fell for Jeramis good start but he’s back to being a complete black hole, who offers little else when he actually stops making decisions with the ball

    Got to hand it to Grant tonight, he's been totally fine and deferred to Shae or others when it makes sense then shot when it's needed.

    I'm really fine with keep ONE of Grant Ayton Ant, don't really care who, but TWO MUST GO!

    But did you know that their total minutes played in the NBA are quite similar?

    I wonder how far up we would be if Williams had been able to play?

    I don't want cheating. I want to trade the mediocre vets who can't help us win big.

    Something like 50% of all stars are taken in the first five picks. When you're rebuilding you want to be picking top five. And you want to do it multiple years consecutively.

    Every starter took more shots than Grants 5 except Clingan who had the same attempts while sitting out with foul trouble.

    Grant's been good this game. The problem is this horrific big 3 of him AytonAnt

    That's okay. He can play point guard and he's a matchup nightmare. We're set at point guard for now.

    Klingon was taking a lot of three-point shots during halftime and one of them was a step back one footer that drained. (On one foot).

    Sharpe doesn’t look passive to me.

    Sharpe is already better than Edwards.

    Ant isn't a matchup nightmare who will challenge Scoot defensively in practice.

    Banton has played the game 5 years longer. Give Scoot 5 years, then we will talk.
