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...

Agreed. My point has been, despite his obvious deficiencies, the wolves should play him because they should at least find out what they actually have and he should be able to get the ball into the front court without going into oxygen depletion.

Fair point. I was hoping he would show up this year with more bulk to fight through screens. Didn't happen. In terms of the pg mess, the wolves are going to have to pick their poison. Tonight should be ok. The Lakers don't have the personnel to pick up full court.

One of your best posts. Seriously.

At this point an average pg would make a nice difference. I actually would give Dilly a chance. It's the beginning of the year and they might as well find out. He's quick enough to get by some people in the backcourt. If Ant has to bring the ball up against this kind of pressure almost every...

Agreed. However, they are a couple of million from the second apron, so the money wasn't there. The only way I can see for them to get a quality pg who can handle the pressure they will see almost every night is to trade one of their quality backups. Naz, DDV or TJ might have to go at some...

It's an addiction. A couple of years ago I read a profile of Ant in online Esquire (I think). He said that he doesn't drink alcohol or smoke weed but he likes to gamble for "relaxation." IIRC, he said he doesn't usually bet more than $10K or $20K at a time. I think gambling is in the oxygen...

As Darren the Greek said, the leagues have made this bed… As I was watching the game on Fan Duel Sports last night, where every other commercial was gambling related, I was thinking about how sick this whole situation is. I used to think the refs were the weak link in the operation but gambling...

It's obvious the wolves don't need a pg. They had no problem getting the ball up the court and getting into their offense all night.

After watching OKC/Houston Tuesday night and the wolves/blazers last night, anybody who says there's no defense in the NBA is a moron.

The wolves had an incredibly soft schedule after the ASG. The Lakers had no center, so Rudy was valuable. The Warriors lost Curry in the first game plus they are 3000 years old. Then the wolves ran into reality.
