After ANT’s recent explosion it’s made me wonder how high can he go. To briefly go over where he is right now here’s my breakdown.

Great at attacking the rim against a set defense or a shifting one. Great attacker in transition. Comfortable finishing throws contact and using his physicality. Versatile shooter who is very comfortable shooting off the bounce. Solid percentages. Very good scorer out the pick and roll, uses patience well. Good in between game. Probably gets too much credit as a playmaker he’s late on reeds and stops ball movement a lot but he’s improving in this area. Turnover prone. Good on ball defender, strong with quick feet and good hands. Bad off ball defender, gambles a lot.

So that brings up the question, what areas can he improve on. I’d say offensively if he can be a better playmaker, paired with his already high usage, he’ll be one of the better primary options. He is already a good shooter but if he can get to that around 40 percent mark it’ll send him to another echelon. If he wants even more usage lowering his turnovers is a must. He is patient sometimes but he can also be out of control going to the lane so he should clean that up.

I think he will continue to be a number 1 option on a good team depending on who’s around him as he is already this at 22. It’s popular to say he’ll be the face of the league MVP type and I’m not comfortable saying that yet considering his comp. I’m not ruling it out I think he can be like around a top 5 player in his prime but he needs to improve in the areas mentioned earlier. I think he could be the best player on a championship team but if I were to guess, he’d need a really team, but so do all superstars. This isn’t his fault ,but excluding Steph curry, there haven’t been many guards leading championship teams in recent years. He plays wing a lot so that’s a very small point. I think he can be a 30 ppg guy with solid surrounding stats and really good defense but nothing there is a lock.

How high do you believe ANT will go?
