Jaylen having the 3rd most 40+ pt and 3rd most 30+ pt games this year is so underrated. I think everyone always assumed he was only good enough to be a 2nd option, but he’s clearly proven that he’s a good enough player to be the legit first option on a top 3 seed.

I’m most certainly not saying you should, but if yall trade Tatum for a couple of decent starters, Brown can without a doubt be the 1st option on a championship team.

But I can’t say I expected him to already be better than Luka

I think it’s tough to say he “is better”, because the Lakers rn are kind of a mess which makes him look worse and Luka is still doing good, but Ant stepped up his game and has definitely been playing better.

I’m happy at least that Ant seems to have made the jump to that tier of player tho, months ago he obviously looked like he had the potential but still looked to be a tier below players like Luka, now he’s playing on that level.

Luka is a better scorer, rebounder passer, ant is just a better defender, luka makes his teammates better,

Ant dropping 55 once really rewired yalls thinking 😂

“Just” a better defender like the gap between them isn’t incredibly wide while Ant’s offensive game is only slightly worse.

Sammy2729 | Lakers

no, ants assist to turnover ratio is significantly worse than luka while averaging less than half his assists and usage rate, lukas playmaking gap arguably exceeds their defensive gap

DempseyRollin

Assist to turnover ratio is a really misleading stat here, but I think you know that and it’s why you used it.

Ant isn’t the main playmaker for the Wolves, so of course his assist numbers aren’t going to be near Luka’s. But Luka’s #1 in the league in turnovers per game but a pretty wide margin (the gap between he and Cade at #2 is triple the gap between #2 & 3).

So sure, Luka gets a lot of assists but he’s offsetting a ton of that offense by being really irresponsible taking care of the ball.

beneaththemask_ | Nuggets

8 | 3 hours ago

I actually don’t think he’s a better scorer than Ant anymore. Edwards is a true three level scorer who’s shooting something crazy like 75% at the rim 50% from midrange and over 40% from behind the arc

The defensive gap between Ant and Luka is way larger than the offensive gap between them

Sammy2729 | Lakers

this is lukas worst stretch by far while this is ants best, id let the season get over before calling conclusions

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

This isn’t Ant’s best stretch, that was around December when he was averaging 38ppg

And I was already putting Ant over Luka by last playoffs, this year has just confirmed it for me

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

This. What you lose in Luka’s amazing playmaking ability you make up for it in Ant’s ability to score at all three levels at high efficiency and his play on the other end of the court.

I really don’t think it’s an asinine take to say Ant is better than Luka this season and that isn’t a disrespect to Luka, box scores may not show it but Ant is playing better than Luka this season. Luka’s competition is just improving significantly faster than he is, he’s still an mvp caliber player though ofc.

Ant is the better scorer this season, he has a higher ts% despite shooting way less free throws. Ant is a WAY better defender. Ant is an easier teammate to play with than Luka, he doesn’t have as high of a usage rate to be as effective as he is. Yes Luka is a way better passer, but that doesn’t make up for his other massive shortcomings this year. The reason Luka gets more rebounds btw is because he plays zero defense, he literally just lets people shoot or blow by him and then tries to get the rebound if they miss.

I would much rather have Ant as my #1 guy this year, every other year before I would have taken Luka, but Luka fell off this year and Ant continues to elevate. I also forgot to mention the how much of a negative Luka always bitching to the refs is. He almost always gets back to defense late from crying, and gets a lot of techs as well. I’m sure it pisses off his teammates and coach too, so that certainly doesn’t help the team morale.

In games he sits the 4th he averages something like 31 on 60-50-90

You have diverted from the approved r/nba groupthink. Please do not interrupt the regularly scheduled circlejerk in the future. Perhaps if SGA tried being classier and more ethical like Avdija or Luka.
