Simons heatcheck

I don’t know about that. People are touting Anthony Edwards to make the game. CJ’s general stats are better across the board and the Pelicans are leading the West.

Man... if he makes it with 17 ppg, 6 assists, 5 boards, 1 steal shooting 40% from the field and 32% from three...... with so many good guards in the west? That would be stupid.

13.6 PER (lowest since his second season in the league)
48.2 TS% (career low)
46.2 eFG% (career low)

He's playing like ass.

Also, Simons is currently the 57th highest paid player in the league this yr. There are not 56 players better than him right now.

For all the griping I read about his contract, it might turn out to be a steal.

Just one outlets opinion, but they have Ant at 59th.

Never mind. I think the link I hit was old. Yeah, he won’t be going to the All Star Game unless it’s to carry Zion’s bags.

It's pretty ridiculous. Statistically he can stack up with a lot of the top 20 guys (especially when he's the #1 option)

Before this came out, I was on record that Ant being ranked around 50 seemed reasonable, so I don't find the ranking to be ridiculous. I would put Ant ahead of some of the players on this list though.

To rank him inside the top 30 I'd have to put some red/black glasses on.

seems about right. he'll climb once we win more and/or he does things outside of scoring.

my point of his contract not being an overpay (as multiple people were griping about in the summer) remains.

Ant getting some more national attention…

Ant's highs are high, but his lows are too low to be a #1 option at this point, IMO.

Part of being an all-star is a degree of consistency. Doesn't mean he isn't a good player though!

I'm still not comfortable dumping Dame to build around Ant/Sharpe.

Trade his ass

For an all-star.

For an all-star.

Giannis preferably.

I might hold out unless the Bucks add a 1st round pick. Ant is younger than Giannis!

Good point. Might only be good for 6 more years.
