    Disagree. From what I've seen, Pritchard has every skill that Ant has, and he does it more effectively.

    You’re just pretty insufferable, and I legit don’t have the energy in my decaying body to deal with it. However, I also would never put someone on ignore. So the result is just to acknowledge and move on

    Ant is certainly more athletic and he has a midrange and rim game pritchard doesn't have.

    Skills don't always translate. On the court is what matter and Pritchard gels better in a team format than Iso Ant.

    Sometimes you need to look in a mirror.

    Ant is more athletic, absolutely.

    Pritchard has everything mid range and finishing that Ant has (except the dunks).

    Pritchard is better and more efficient at all 3 offensive levels than Ant. He's simply far more skilled. And he's a better passer and better defender.

    Bro, you just said, “Get the ball to my daughters and get out of the way!” That ain’t coaching FAMS!

    I'm cynical about the Blazers' moves and I am finding it hard to be cynical about this. Portland's two point guards are working out together in LA before training camp. Even if that has way more to do with their prior relationships with Chris Johnson--it's a good thing.

    Pritchard also got to play alongside Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and Derrick White. Things come a little easier when you're like the 5th option on a team with great players versus the 1st option with pretty mediocre to shit players.

    Ant was our number 1 option and the offense was ran around HIM….. I most definitely don’t believe that Pritchard could handle that…NO WAY! Now imagine how smooth Ant would look as the 5th or 6th option like Pritchard. Shit all he would have to do is have a good game every now and then right?

    Maybe. But you're going to see that Boston feels the same way.

    Pritchard could absolutely put up numbers on a losing team in that situation. 100%

    Probably on better efficiency than Ant.

    The only thing that gives Ant an edge is his athleticism. So you'd have to do it differently for Pritchard. Run him off of more screens, etc.

    We KNOW Ant can. We have absolutely no clue, not 100%, that Pritchard can as the #1 guy.

    Sure. We know Ant could do it poorly. But I 100% believe Pritchard could do as well or better.

    Run him in Golden State's offense like they run Steph and Pritchard would put up better numbers than Ant.

    Would the team win? Probably not. Not unless they had a great defense.

    You are the most polarizing member on here bro! As soon as I think we could be boys and hang and get along……maybe even be roommates one day you post some really wack uneducated shit. I can’t figure you out FAMS!
