McDaniels or Vanderbilt?

We need to adjust.
With Ricky out there, play McDaniels. With Dlo, play Vando.

I actually disagree, I think Vanderbilt needs a PG like Rubio in order to maximize his offensive ability. It's similar to how young Rubio maximized so many guys from a flawed Wolves roster at that time.

I understand that. But they are both young and we cant have Ricky with Okogie and Vando out there at same time. No shooting at all.
With Dlo shooting ability at least we can balance more the lineups.

Give Ricky capable shooters to have around. That would help him with his shooting ability as well because when the opponents know that we have 3 non shooters out there is easy to defend against us.

Just lock up Beasley and Naz (Meh) and thats it.

I think McDaniels has a chance to be our starting SF of the future once he fills out and tightens his handle.

Vanderbilt could be a real piece and could potentially be a long term fit at PF next to KAT. Can he develop a respectable 18 footer?

With Rubio, MCLaughlin, Okogie, Beasley, Vanderbilt, Naz, McDaniels, and Ed Davis, you can almost see this team start to form a gritty identity. Edwards even started to buy in last night. Not sure how D-Lo fits into that.

Agree ... we need to master what we can control without scorers (KAT and DLo) such as loose balls, rebounding, and defense.

Maybe I'm wrong, but we know Ant (like any rookie) needs leadership to help set a precedent of workmanship ... maybe DLo does too At some point this guy has to want to figure it out. He obviously has talent, but he clearly lacks interest or motivation to lead. Maybe I or whoever need to stop thinking he should be more than what he is - I mean, he got the max (Great), but maybe we need to move past the notion that he is anything more than an offensive role player. Just sayin... Might be a direction Ryan needs to consider in order to clean up this rotation.

I think the more important question is if either of them individually is good enough to where the team no longer views upgrading the position as a need? Right now I'd lean no.
