Wolves vs Pelicans, 1/3, Game Thread

[FrenchMinnyFan]

To get ANT getting to 8/9 and not much turnover, you may need a miracle... don;t make the same mistake Jazz make with Mitchell where they let him do all... which result as nothing good as he was mostly miss shoot at crutch time, getting out of gas.... Finch has also to show more authority . But this is the problem of 99% of NBA coach. The job is so well paid that there main target is to stay there safe as long as they can. And the best way do to it is to be soft with start player. Sometimes ANT, KAT or Rudy should be benched for 2 min and follow coach instructions. Finch send message in many aftergame ITW talking about progress to be made, immaturity... but strong acts are better than ITW.

I like how we are comparing a SG to Luka (pg), Trey (pg) and sga (pg)

What is the difference? On ball guard is on ball guard.

The difference is the other 3 grew up as passers. Its a new skill for Ant.

I believe that Edwards should follow Devin Booker path. Booker has improved a LOT as passer.

For Ant to reach his ceiling, he needs to get up to 8 or 9 assists a game. Shooting guard or not.

Sure, he needs to average 8-9 assists in order to reach his ceiling of GOAT status. But it's also just fine if he doesn't become the GOAT.

Edward’s ceiling isn’t GOAT. Good lord. He has incredible physical skills but he doesn’t have the mental ability to be GOAT.

It’s only 3 more assists a game.

He should be smart enough to pass out of double and triple teams. He’s SO good at putting pressure on defenses that averaging 8 or 9 assists should be entirely possible.

Granted, part of the current problem is lack of shooters, as well as Rudy’s hands.
