Yo I am 100% not a fan of Booker in the NBA but he was great tonight.
Basically everyone looked good on USA except for Embiid lol.
Was really impressed with that Ant/Tatum/Haliburton/AD/Bam line up. That’s so unfair to the other countries bench units.

Ant should’ve had 4 more assists but his teammates bricked open shots

Did you watch the game or just read the box score?
Ant’s current role is perfect and its a bigger role than Booker’s. He’d have to play off-ball with the starters but the 2nd unit offense basically runs through him. Led both teams in points and shot attempts – can’t ask for much more than that.

Lots of people here already disagree with you, but watching the game last night really showed how bad that starting lineup was. All 5 guys who started ended up with pretty bad +/- (Jrue had the best +/- at 2) and that’s in a 14 point win.
Now I understand wanting to use Ant as the scoring leader for the bench, but Booker still should not be starting, because Tatum not only played better but is just also a much better fit with that starting lineup.

Starting is irrelevant. Ant’s perfect off the bench and is more important than Booker on this team even off the bench.

Tatum or Ant need to be starting. That starting lineup looked old. They need another young wing in there with them.

Hot take – replace 1st unit with 2nd unit.
Ant ate. AD ate. Bam ate. Haliburton ate. Tatum ate.

“bring yo ass” off the bench Book.

I like where they’re at because I think he gets more touches playing with that group. With the starters, it’s all about Curry, Embiid and Lebron.

Tatum and AD need to start for Booker and Embiid. Give ant the ball off the bench.

The most important thing Kerr can do for Edwards is to run him into shape in practice and warn him about being undisciplined with his fitness. Getting fat in the offseason is not cool for an NBA player that depends on quickness.
