Has there ever been a year with more deserving candidates? I don't think he's going to give it to Pohlad two years in a row but the Twins stand out amongst the morass. I'm going with Falvey. He traded away half the team at the deadline and hired a guy who had lost 100 games three times in his...

That's lazy. Nobody's asking for Ben to come back. What some of us are saying is that there are some initial benchmarks that are or should be controllable that look like JJ McCarthy trying to hit a receiver in stride. Not one decent preseason home game for the folks that pay the bills. A...

What you are describing is a lack Last year's team shot 66.4% from the line which ranked 332nd in D1. This year's team is at 65.0% through six games. Good games at the line aren't following good games. The coaches are obviously trying to teach better FT shooting techniques and habits...

I was about to comment that it’s not as if Johnson’s top 10 was HOF but it did include two NBA guys and a third who might make it if he recovers from a gruesome injury. If Johnson could have paid those guys their market value maybe they would have stayed for another year. Medved doesn’t need a...

After last night's game, I take it back. I can definitely understand a lack of talent in year one. Last night was something different.

I would definitely put Mike Mitchell in your top ten. Maybe Cade Tyson makes it but I disagree on Crocker Johnson. Crocker-Johnson was among multiple players who shoot like Rudy Gobert. They were throwing the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the hoop and if it happened to go in, hallelujah...

This was the first game that I watched start to finish. I take back everything I said in my post a couple of days ago about some semblance of a system in place. This was the most ill prepared gopher team I've ever seen and I've been punishing myself with this nonsense for decades. For those...

I don't have a clue what he is or isn't building. Way too soon to say. Based on what I've seen so far, it's the usual collection of hodge podge players to which we've grown accustomed. The distinction with a difference is that his system looks pretty organized. Players are actually cutting...

Great player. Hard pass. I think the wolves have a pretty good locker room compared to most NBA locker rooms. If you subtract Naz and add 33 year old Kyrie who might not want to defer to Ant, then you are asking for chemistry combustion. At 33, coming off of major knee surgery, the Kyrie...

As the cliche goes, he's two years away from being two years away. He tried to shoot the Wizards into a comeback last night. He must lead the league in blocked shot attempts per minute.

It's kind of unfortunate. Kidd will live to coach another day after Dallas inevitably fires him. Dumont will sell the franchise at some point for a ridiculous profit. Nico will be forever NBA radioactive.

Boy, Kidd (two faced), Harrison and Dumont (“I’m not paying him $350M”) must have really despised Luka internally to make that trade. I think Harrison gets most of the blame for his beyond terrible execution. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was under pressure from both Dumont and Kidd to...

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
