    Yeah, among all SG's, I'd probably only take Ant (for his defense and age) over AR right now.

    AR's ability to pass/facilitate and get to the line makes him darn near unstoppable on offense.

    He keeps getting stronger. Not a ripped type body but you can see he’s thicker up top. What’s not athletic about being able to blow past so many “more” athletic NBA players. Quickness, timing, coordination …. name it. Def part of definition of athleticism.

    Sensational tonight. Are you kidding? 35 in 25 minutes! Those back to back 3’s really turned the game around in the fourth quarter. Him is back!

    If we're counting Mitchell as a SG, I'm taking Mitchell. But AR would be 3rd. It's pretty remarkable how good he's gotten.

    also remember that his max will be about 10 million less than mitchell's and 15 million less than booker's salary next year (for those who don't want him to make max money). and he's two years younger than each as well.

    Yeah Mitchell and Brooker are a different level AR hasn't established on yet. But he certainly is having flashes this year multiple times where he's entering that level.
    He has won us multiple games this year while having the whole defense centered on him. If he does this consistently, he's in that convo

    He was on min restrictions. Played only 25

    35pts on 25 minutes is insane
