you expect a 19 year old to be consistent already? :lol:


No way. Just show a little something that a NBA team that's banking on him being a backup center can do. I can't blame him for being in his bad position because its TC fault. But there's 19 year old players who have shown more basics than he has.

I think Beringer is another player like Gobert in that his mistakes are "loud." However, unlike Gobert, most of the kids mistakes are coming on the defensive end rather than offense. And that's where I think the struggle lies for most fans.

Yes, and a lot of Rudy’s successes are “quiet.” “Never minds” and dirty work don’t show up on the box score, or flash to fans who want to see offense, but at the end of the year, you always see Rudy crushing net rating. He helps teams win.

He's playing quite well IMO.

Did you watch the Orlando game?

In 14 minutes he had 9 points, 9 rebounds, only 1 PF and was +12.

He absolutely looked like he belonged out there against a big, and skilled, frontcourt.

Denver getting blown out by NOP in their home opener. So much for them. Stick a fork in them. They're cooked.

Did we pass up on Trevon Brazile before or after the Randle trade? A mobile big that can hit 3s, Evans better turn into almighty.

We all know that was a BIG mistake and wolves needed (and still need) a young athletic PF anyway.

Connelly sucks at drafting, he’s good at everything else though:/ he needs to hire someone better at scouting the draft to help him out, I guess good thing wolves don’t really have draft picks going forward?

Denver might pull off a massive comeback. Down two shooting three Free throws by Murray. 20 seconds left. Missed the second...... Tie game. 16 seconds to go. Pelicans ball. Zion actually looks healthy by the way. I know you've heard it before.

Cam may not get his starting spot back. I don't ever remember seeing a 2nd round guy in the second NBA game got so much impact - 3pt, D, block shot.

I don’t see it in Darryn Peterson, he looks like what people accused Ant of being as a rookie.

Also that Kessler contract is atrocious as the JJJ one , 2 rebounds for a center :lol:

Fans that are complaining about Joan need to realize no teams have good backup centers and some teams don’t even have good starting centers.

Yeah. He went down without contact. I believe on his previously repaired knee.

Well Orlando is now stuck with that contract.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
