This team can still cook, we just need to use some different ingredients.

ESPN doesn’t have him on the pre game injury report. The overwhelming likelihood is yes.

I think we can still have a solid offense if we can find a stretch 4 who can shoot. I know we got Naz of course but if we can find someone who can get some reserve minutes who could just stretch the floor and move the ball, that would be a huge boon.

If KAT would get in the corner more and take the corner three I actually think it would open some stuff up on offense but he likes to dribble into the paint and attack, replacing that with someone who is just willing to shoot could show some benefits, I don't know if anyone who plays the 4 who can do that is available though.

Jaden McDaniels. You can find him on the Wolves roster ;). He will split time at the 3/4 and NAW will get some of his SF minutes.

Looking ahead at potential playoff matchups and this will more than likely be a much larger part of the solution than most would think.

Can you play Jaden at the 4 against:

Lakers: yeah, yeah you can

Warriors: yes, though this plays a bit more into their hands and I would expect much more Naz in that series

Mavs: yes.

Suns: much like the warriors this plays into their hands but you obviously can.

Kings: I don't love Jaden on Keegan Murray but it's not anywhere near a problem

Pelicans: no, but you couldn't play KAT on Zion either.

Clippers, yes but see warriors and Suns

Thunder: yeah and it's a good matchup for us.

Nuggets: Aaron Gordon could be a problem

There are switches and such, but that's the basics. Not terrible.

Well, they did their job on both ends that quarter. Scored 30+ and held their opponent to -25.
