Don't get me wrong, Ant has been balling, but KAT has been our best player since the Boston game.

[–] PlayInChampions@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Since the Boston game:

KAT: 25.4/8.6/3.1/1.1/1 on 58/50/90

Ant: 24.6/5.4/5.4/1.9/0.5 on 43/34/86

KAT has been more clutch as well with big shots against the Warriors and the Pelicans.

Yeah and he’s barely getting any recognition or credit for it. There seems to be this notion that Ant is hard carrying the offense while Kat is just there lol.

Hasn’t KAT’s defense just randomly been elite

[–] Sharcbait@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not randomly. He has always had the potential to be a good defender (check out his pre-draft notes, his NBA player comp is Amdrew Bogut) he just played with DLo, Teague, Wiggins etc who just pretended to be matadors and would Ole people at him uncontested as the rim protector. Now he is the help defender instead of the sole rim protector and we have guys like Ant, McDaniels and NAW to hound PoA players.

[–] FreezersAndWeezers@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

KAT being compared to Bogut is actually an elite comparison

[–] BaronZbimg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Also no Gobert no party

I feel like you are assuming actual performance matters. Mvp is a narrative first award.
