I mean, all that being said, I don't think Anfernee makes it. But I think a lot of times we see a player once, or see highlights or stat sheet and it's a little bit of the grass is greener situation. But when we watch every game of theirs, the nitpicking comes out.
And Simons has a higher PER, higher TS%, a lower TO% on similar usage, double the WS/48, a positive BPM, not the negative Edwards has, and over double VORP. I don't think I'd give someone the edge based on 2.6 rebounds and .7 SPG, personally.
Your title suggests the thread is about Ant and his hot streak....there's nothing off the rails about allstar competition as it ties to the thread....if you have another intention why not express it in a post and let us know what you think
? huh?

I just did this past 7 game stretch that Dame missed from 11/20 to 12/3 on nba.com.
Which is why my response was -
Yeah it's pretty obvious why Simons averages more points and assists without Lillard.
exactly my response when you said allstar talk was off track but you said something about recalibrating Ant's production? Back at you with "huh?" Weren't you comparing him to Edwards just a few posts ago? Just trying to understand what you posted and why you responded the way you did. Your title isn't as specific as your post seemed to want discussions to be. Ant is playing like an allstar this season...of course he'll score less with Grant and Dame on the court.
relax. i said slightly off track because all the posts were about all star this year. was trying to talk more about the big picture. sheesh, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
I'm not pissed off...not sure how that got in the discussion.....you asked me a "huh" question in response to my post....I answered it sans piss or cornflakes ...back at ya with 'relax"
Might be quicker than that? Gotta figure Dame will slow down in 2-3 years. Not disagreeing with 5. Just think 37 is definitely on the downhill side.
Draw whatever conclusions you want based on whatever you want. I've never noted anyone siting BPM or VORP here before, but you do you... hell, I've consistently been killed every time I refer to PER. Most of their stats including those you sited are very close, which I noted in my previous post.
Yup, I hope to see Ant and Sharpe here for the next decade. Ant needs to become more of a PG, but he is a fairly decent one whenever Dame has been out. I can’t actually think of a top flight SG that came into the league with a PG this side of Klay. Booker had to wait how many season before getting a real PG, 5 or 6? I think Sharpe is really going to benefit from having Ant this early in his career who can build up that chemistry with him going into his prime.
