Ant’s card is stacked — eight bars sitting at 5, four of them on offense. A crowned 5 on dunks, 5 twos, 5 from deep, 5 handles: he scores from all three levels and creates his own look from a standstill. Add 5 speed and 5 stamina and he’s hunting downhill all game without slowing down. He’s a one-man offense who doesn’t need a play called to get a bucket.

What makes him special on this roster is the 5 on Guard — most pure scorers leak points on the other end, but Ant doesn’t. The soft spots are on the glass: 3 blocks, 3 rebounds, 2 steals. He’ll lock up his man and finish over yours, but he’s not the one cleaning up the misses.

In the Zone: Posterizer. His crowned dunks were already as good as it gets, and Posterizer pours gas on it — it bumps the rating higher, raises his posterize chance, and keeps a slammed-on defender stuck on the floor 1.5x longer. With a crowned 5 aura charging the meter fast, he gets there often. Best used with a runway: transition, a sealed help defender, or a switch onto a smaller guard. Don’t fade — drive into the contact and hang the poster.

Run him with a true big who rebounds and stretches the floor. Nikola Jokic is the cleanest fit — he mops up the misses Ant’s 3 boards can’t, sets him up off the catch, and gives him a second scorer to draw the defense. Any rim-protecting glass-cleaner covers the one real hole in his sheet.
