Have we ever set an effective screen?

They've certainly made the case for it with majority of decisions made and continuing to be made.

Layman is the example of a guy playing well not getting rotation minutes, while a player like Okogie keeps playing even though he clearly should be out of the rotation. Winning is obviously not the franchise priority.

I typically see Kat and Ried both as lazy screeners. Dieng was the same way. It's what the coaches are allowing them to do. The players on this team probably need to stash some foam padding under their shorts. Contact scares these guys.

Agreed. They always bail right before the contact of the screen, and the defender just recovers immediately, or swats the ball handler from behind. The guy dropping doesn't even have to worry about the drive, because the perimiter defender wasn't even taken out of the play.

The most entertaining thing about this game is watching Jaden McDaniels' footwork on defense.

It's all about matchups Ryan would say. Okogie matches up better.

Ryan is an idiot and must go.

Say what you will about Edwards being Wiggins 2.0, but I just gotta say this, at least Edwards hits his free throws consistently

Ricky starting to look like himself is at least something positive.

Hope Ricky fans aren’t upset when he is traded for Gordon after wolves draft Suggs/Cunningham even though it should be DLO.

This has to be one of the dumbest Wolves teams I have ever watched... What makes it worse is that the players think they're all that and some more... The delusion is real..

Do we have a big man coach that can teach our bigs to set screens? If not, let Ed Davis do it FFS

Saunders’ zone has been getting clowned since I’ve tuned in.

Man Jim Pete will find a way to blame everything any Wolves player does poorly on Ricky. What up with the hate man.

When was the last time Juancho played without an undershirt?
