If most of his defensive work is against Rudy it's probably of limited value. Outside of dunking, Rudy has no bag.

Speaking of maybe some day unicorns, I've been watching Berenger during a fairly large sample size of garbage time the last few games and he is really, really raw. Somewhere in there is an NBA player but he isn't even close at the present time. If I were one of the wolves brainiacs, I would...

The other night on the broadcast JimPete made an observation that hadn't occurred to me. When Sabonis grabs an offensive board he does not pass it out to the perimeter for an open three. He muscles the ball back up, no matter what, even if it's against three guys. Sabonis is a good but not...

Morant brings too much baggage, he's too injury prone and they would have to give up too much to get him. Electric talent. Hard pass.

Fair point.

A comparatively low usage to assist ratio and well below 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. He’s a great scorer who shouldn’t be running an offense.

You are using a lot of labels. Basically there are a number of pg's in the NBA that shoot the ball really well and can run an offense. Ant isn't one of them. Claiming that Ant can do both at a high level is nonsense.

Too small

Izzo is an excellent coach but he’s run a very dirty program for decades. Always conveniently looking the other way when his players were “misbehaving” everywhere but the court. The point is that he can pontificate all he wants about the sins of the system but he’s not giving up a penny of his...

Of course. If the wolves had only worn white they wouldn't have been killed on the boards and Dilly would be 6'5" and 215lbs. That's just Science.

Denver is a bigger, better team this year. Things don't stay the same. Jokic goes out, an even bigger guy with skills comes in. I've seen the Nuggets live before and didn't recognize Braun at first. Crawford, Hardaway and Braun were way bigger than our perimeter players. Yes, suddenly we are...

I was at the game and I was also mystified why Clark sat. A few impressions: 1. The new lighting system is pretty cool. 2. This team as it is currently constituted is going to struggle to beat good teams this year, even with Ant. The NBA has gone big again and this team isn't big enough...

This may take a while. I know from personal experience that hamstrings take what seems like forever to heal. (I was never a 24 year old superstar athlete with amazing powers of recovery and access to the very best health care.) I hope they make him wait to return until he's fully healed.

Naz's defense Friday night was even worse than usual. It looked like the Lakers were hunting him. I hope Finch gets assertive in developing Berenger for the non Rudy minutes.

For good reason we've been focusing on the pg problem. I also thing they need to find a way to get Berenger some competitive minutes. When Rudy was out Wednesday night the paint was wide open. The good teams are going to exploit the hell out of that. Not sure how they can divide up the...
