      @kristiangreene8869 День назад

      @TheOneKeyToLife Prolific scoring guards will give anybody problems. Ant is a solid defender but idk that he's much better than 6'8 jayson tatum. We saw him struggle against Kyrie/Luka defensively at times. Defense at this stage is largely team concept/effort. One advantage USA has over opposing perimeter players is size and length. If I have the opportunity to surround steph curry with 4 guys who are 6'8 and above, I'm absolutely doing that. Ant is not a good offball scorer and not a great catch and shoot 3pt shooter yet. He makes more sense coming off the bench similar to what Dwade did for the 2008 team. The offense makes sense with Bron being the primary decision maker with elite shooting and length around him.
