An excerpt from Britt’s article about Ant learning from Conley and Slomo that might make you giddy



> In fact “unlocking Ant” should be the prism through which the 2023-24 season is plotted. That doesn’t mean affording him carte blanche – despite some clever stubbornness, he is eager to be coached, trusts Finch and benefits from tough love. But put it this way; as grateful as I am for the way the deep wisdom of Conley and (to a slightly lesser extent) Slo Mo in greasing Gobert’s tastes and expectations on the court, the greater elation is hearing Ant continually hit Conley up on the finer points of hoops, or go to him to confirm his revelations. And seeing Ant sitting in the locker room between Conley and Slo Mo as they parsed the game in the wake of the Game 2 loss in Denver made me as giddy, albeit in a different way, as watching Josh Minott play some one-on-one with Connelly after trying out a half-dozen stupendous dunks after a practice the day before.

Ant sitting between Conley and Slomo parsing the game :’) 😍😍😍😍🤓😊🙌

I’m grateful that Ant is eager to learn and that Connelly surrounded him with high bbiq vets like Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson to guide him.

    Brit comes across as someone who really likes to hear himself talk.

    I don’t dislike him for it, it’s just kinda funny at times.

    Rubio would have been a perfect dude for him to learn how to be the playmaker
