Ant, please sit next to LeBron on the Team USA bench this summer.
This is why I absolutely believe Ant when he says he's only to around 40% of his potential at themoment. So many nuances of the game that he will learn along the way.
I loved hearing that in the video you posted! And while I don’t see any way for him to get 2.5 times better, I believe HE believes it. One of my favorite things about Ant is his desire to learn, and I think that’s what could make him the best player in the league in a few years.

Michael Wilbon just said he put Ant at #2 on his MVP ballot, behind Jokic!

Keeping it real, that should probably be grounds for losing future voting privileges.

I think he started in the business in Chicago following Jordan.

I feel so fortunate that Gersson Rosas selected Ant. That wasn’t an easy pick in the moment.
After the pick was made, he claimed he was only considering Ant the whole time, but there was plenty of rumors that he was trying to trade the #1 pick right up to Draft Day.

A recent podcast said that when Ty Lue coached Ant for Team USA, he said he was the greatest man-defender he had ever seen!
Did he say that, and I missed it? I can’t find verification on the internet, and Lue has seen some pretty great players along the way!
