Hyped. Wouldn't be shocked if he stays at Converse but I'd imagine they'll have to really commit to a big line of Shai stuff for that. Which is what they should have already been doing.
OKC put up the 3rd most 3s ever tonight. There was basically no bad shots somehow lol. I don't know that I've ever seen a team aggressively look to shut down 1 player like that.
Not anytime recently in a regular season game for sure.
Ant's getting a comparable whistle however you want to break it down. You can go do that if you choose to dig deeper. They both get slightly under or about half from drives. Almost exactly. You can do this exercise with a lot of players and you'd be surprised how consistent a lot of whistles...
NBA.com
Ant 14 drives per game for 3.4 FTs
SGA 23 drives per game for 4.2 FTs
SGA is significantly more aggressive overall and takes 2.5 more FTs per game. It's pretty simple. If Ant was as aggressive, he'd arguably take more based on data.
I didn't really mean that you personally were, just throwing some data out there that suggests it isn't true. Based on data, it can't be. Shai drives the ball nearly 10 times PER GAME more then Ant and takes 2 more FTs a game. Ant's FT rate is higher.
OKC is the most aggressive team in the...
SGA only shot 3 more FTs then Ant. In the 3 games they've played Ant has shot 3 MORE FTs then SGA.
OKC as a team is 16th in FTs attempted and Minn is 9th. OKC easily leads the league in drives as a team. SGA leads the league individually by a wide margin.
Ant is just embarrassed.
He's extremely, extremely talented.
He's a volume player. Not a particularly efficient or smart one for the most part. I didn't just start thinking this about him though.
I just got a new Tech hoodie in the other day and i'm probably going to buy several of them when they get cheap. Much better then the last season imo.
Kudos to Nike for dropping the middle school look as well lol.
Yeah I've been saying this for a while to switch him to Nike.
They need to take advantage of having him with Converse and actually market him if they are going to keep him there. Makes no sense otherwise.
That's why I was pushing back when people in here were saying how dare they sit Shai/Chet at the same time.
Dub runs the offense just as well and they have complete confidence in him to do. It's by design and has worked seamlessly.
We are not in discovery mode. Learning how to become a great team mode and it's working brilliantly.
People just looking for reasons to poke holes here.
