I'm still confident he'll be a rotation player, he's just not had any rhythm so far this year. He needed to really play well to break into the rotation and he just hasn't made his case.


Who does he jump to be in the rotation? We're very Guard heavy.

Ant, Russell, Beverley, Beasley, Okogie, McLaughlin, Bolmaro?


I should have said he will be a rotation player in the next couple of years. I don't think Nowell breaks into the Wolves rotation unless there are injuries or trades. I do think that in a year or two he will be in the rotation for some team in the NBA.

In terms of current value to winning how do we rank our SFs: Okogie, McDaniels, and Prince.

I’m not certain McDaniels is #1 on that list. Long term, I think he can be a very good 3-D SF, but his lack of confidence and inconsistent shot kinda hurts the team on the offensive end.

Wolves need to acquire a perimeter shooter better than anyone on this roster. It's nice to have guys who people say can "shoot" just cuz they make 3s here and there, but this team is lacking someone who can capitalize for being left open behind the arc. Instead of moving assets for Simmons, I would like to see them make a move for Beal or Brogdon.

A bad preseason doesn’t change the career 3 point shooting percentages of several of our players. What we need is a large PF/C who can shoot. I would have loved for us to get Vuc from Orlando before the Bulls beat us to it. That said, we are stacked with 38-40% 3 point shooters who have actually been better in recent seasons.

Beal is pretty much unavailable and would cost too much if he was. Simmons solves a lot more problems for us than Brogdon.

It really bugs me that all of the highlights and game archives only have the Denver feed. Anyone find one with the Minnesota feed?

Nuggets are 0-3, and have lost these games by 1, 2, and 2 points.

Maybe they need more Bones. They could even rename him Bones Crawford and be done with it.
