I hate that Culver has regressed again. Seems mentally fragile and it sucks.

Someone find Culver a mean mean women. Someone that will wreck his mind so much that even while shooting free throws he's only concerned about having to go home and see her again. If things don't get better, put her in the stands with a bullhorn.

Ant is playing within system, he made three very good passes earlier that we bricked or didn’t shoot. That said he is not getting easy looks and is cold shooting.

Culver looks shook af.

The Wolves are just plain giving the ball to Memphis over and over.

Nice three Juancho. We have given up 12 points off of turnovers.

If Culver plays this way I think Nowell should take his minutes. It will also give more shooting to that second unit. Is much needed.

Edwards really doesn't seem like he wants to shoot anymore.

Right, confidence problem

The crowded rotation likely causing him to press, complete opposite problem compared to last year when he had all the chances to sink/swim, hasn't handled either situation well

I like his feel for game, seems to be in right place, makes right decisions
but he seems to be heading for a Frank Ntilkina <-> Kris Dunn career path

Here's what I'm seeing. The Wolves are slowly starting to figure out their identity. The defense has been better the last few games, the offense needs a lot of work too. The Grizzlies have it figured, they know exactly who they are and it shows. Even with missing players, they are still the same team, just diminsihed.

Edwards and Culver are very lost right now. Edwards I'm not too worried about, he's a rookie and can figure it out. Culver is more worrisome as this is his second year and he spent all summer getting better. We are going to have to try and play and win through a lot of mistakes, the guys who are starting to get it to need to be really good and on point cause this team will have a lot of lapses.

Think the best players who get the system right now are KAT, Okogie, and Beasley. Dlo is coming along too. Need some more to start getting it faster.
