The Wolves need to evolve into a faster paced team. Starting five should be Donte Ant Jaden Julius and Rudy. The next player should be based on what they need is on the court. Big man help is Naz, but defense should be Jaylen , half-court offense is Mike. Rest for Ant is TJ and so on. More three point shooting is Juzang. Finch has to do better getting out of a press and still get pace. I saw this as a coach for the opposition, out dueling Finch. Happens too often.
I disagree with your Newton take.
He has consistently shown he is willing to make the right (and simple) play.
He doesn't force things; something you like to see from a PG.
It is no accident he had the best +/-
Shannon and Hyland and divencinzo should some times play together on the courti believe they will be fast and effective together
The wolves lack of a good tall point guard and ball handlers and shooters will equal 5th place finish unless juzang gets a ton of minutes and shots cause this team is ok wont beat the top 4 teams on both sides of the nba
It's yo-AHN. Come on, man. 🙂
Wolves starters just plain got their asses handed to them.
I seriously think the Wolves need to start shopping Rob before his value tanks even lower. I like the kid, but it's abundantly clear that he's not good enough to make up for his size.
I want to see jb and ant minutes
I think we should make a trade for David Jones Garcia!!!
Joe Ingles shouldn't be on any NBA team, and Mike Conley has been (washed up for 6 years) now! These guys are taking up roster spots! I'm so sick of the NBA is just like Corporate America and everything regarding the trickle-down effects of Politricks (not Politics), Politricks! They allow dudes who cannot play anymore, or a so-called mentor or veterans presence in the locker room! Like they need neither one, these young guys are mature and professional and don't need that made up garbage! It's sickening for sports as a whole! While still giving them a paycheck (because their kid) has some diagnoses (save your dam money from earlier contracts) then you won't have to keep trying to be selfish! GTFOH with that bs-these are (2) roster spots that can be filled for a young man (1 being Johnny J.) who can play and deserves to get an opportunity to showcase their skills, even if he lacks defensive prowess…he will develop it a lil more at his size 6'7"!
Cozy lookin sweater, ben!
We can't play fast with Conley AND Rudy on the floor at the same time. Conley is no longer a starter quality player and needs to go to the bench. It's very, very obvious and has been since last year.
