I love Chet and think he has perennial All Star potential, but he most certainly did not “run through” Rudy.
Chet just ran through Ayton, Vucevic, Embiid, Gobert, KAT, and AD.
Averaged close to 20 and 8, with 3 STOCKS.
I’m done listening to your “Chet’s too skinny” jokes.

For more perspective, Saunders wouldn’t even be the oldest player on the Timberwolves roster. That title belongs to Taj Gibson and Lol Deng, who are 33 and 97 years old, respectively.

Losing this part sucks. The relationship seemed real. You can get more vets but that doesn’t guarantee the same bond. Ant will become what he becomes regardless but Ricky seemed to make a real impact.

Great to see Rubio coaching Antman up after he made a mistake.

When this photo was taken, I had hoped that Ant would find his way into the starting 5, and that McDaniels would eventually find his rhythm in the G League & show NBA flashes late.
Three months later: Ant is fresh off a 42-pt game, and McDaniels is joining him in the starting 5.
