  1. God I can not wait for KAT to get back. I feel like for this team to work we need as good of perimeter defense as possible so Rudy can be maximized on D. Jaden and Ant are carrying that load so far and I think conley will be better than DLO was. That means our only weakness is KAT on the perimeter so honestly just stick him on the worst perimeter shot creator and hope he can at least do that. The problem that comes with that though is can he effectively rebound still. Im just hoping KAT can limit foul trouble to stay on the floor longer. If KAT and Ant get calls they could easily average around 27-30 a game. McDaniels and Rudy locking up on the other end is such a blessing. Our starting lineup is about to be scary.

  2. I like how the twitter has been endorsed by Jaden’s teammates. Also blog boys, and awards voters better give Jaden his flowers and an all defense nod. Otherwise I am going to be very disrespectful in their DMs.

  3. Jaden and Rudy league leaders on D, Ant and Kat league leaders on O, Mike glueing it together and good versatile bench pieces. Just need health and the next ten years are ours…

  4. At this point, is it even safe to say we can get him on a Bridges-esque deal? He looks like he could win a DPOY before he’s 25 and his offense continues to steadily improve. Plus, he’s shown flashes of legit, lanky wing shot creation. I would be shocked if his agent doesn’t dream bigger than $20-25 a year. Frankly, I’ll be happy to see them pay him every penny.

  5. Wow I didn’t expect him to guard C’s 10% of the time given most say he can only guard 1-4. While his defense probably isn’t as good against C’s like it is against wings and guards, 10% is higher than I thought! I thought it would be like 1-3% lol

    Man I love this kid. I really think he can be one of the best two-way players in the league if he continues to improve the way he has
