    I grew up with him and can attest that your opinion is correct.

    I don't think people realize that Ant will be one of our starting guards this season.

    I don’t think he will have as flashy or talked about of a rookie season as Scoot.

    Could be good in the long run, I just think there will be some short term angst by Hornets fans.

    I think he's going to be good starting out and get better as he gets stronger.

    I do not think Miller is going to be Marvin Williams 2.0. It will take time but he should be a good player at a position it is harder to find talent at.

    So you see Sharpe coming off the bench or someone playing out of position?

    I would rather see a rotation of Scoot/Sharpe/Ant in the backcourt with a rebounding, defensive SF next to Grant/Nurk.

    Very much so. Sharpe could be dominant at SG. I think he would be solid at SF with not as many advantages.

    With Grant's limitations, it would be tough to watch.

    Before anyone says "Well, Grant makes 32M. We should not have to compensate around him". Yes, he makes 32M. If he had even normal rebounding numbers, he would be making 40M+ and an all-star.

    Listening to John Butler Jr interview yesterday at 7'1 he said his natural position is SF.......I thought, wow...that's interesting! He said he can play 2-4 but never mentioned being a center at all. I guess when you weigh 175 lbs and are 7'1 you might be quicker on your feet?

    No clue who is where, but there is NO way Ant is coming off the bench.

    I listened and thought the same thing. I think it's because he can't gain enough to expand those gluet/hams. Hard to stay in the paint when you're getting leveraged out. I like his game and I like how he started to show his skill near the end of last season. His body makes him a tweener in an odd sort of way. Who was that player back in the 80's that was known for his sharp elbows?
