Ant is at the top of tier 2 with curry and Tatum. His abilities and being a winning player are flat out elite traits.

It doesn’t seem to matter that he’s incredibly arrogant and immature. He produces and his team wins. Knocking up a series of honey traps isn’t really that interesting either tbh.

But he’s tier 2 and Vic is tier 1 so it’s still nuts to take ant

Agreed. Tier 2 players can be interesting in that some are not quite as talented as tier 1 guys but still find a way to be impactful by being smart, resourceful, efficient, or versatile. But I think when you try to build a team around a tier 2 guy with too many faults, it makes it almost impossible to really hope for a championship-- i'm thinking of guys like Carmelo, Iverson, Lillard, Westbrook... I like Ant more than someone like Banchero, because Ant has fewer holes in his game. Orlando's in a strange position imo because Wagner is a better #2 guy than Banchero is a #1 guy-- it's like if Pippen played with Dominique Wilkins instead of Jordan. They'll get a bunch of wins, but a title is pretty unlikely... and they're putting all of their eggs in that basket. Also why I think Memphis should trade Ja now and get maximum value. Ok, free association saturday is over... i gotta go and get some stuff done
