Hartenstein was a guy I was hoping the Wolves could pick up. He'd be a nice depth big, something we are currently lacking.

I saw the foul on prince on his 3pt attempt that didn't get called and was visibly frustrated. but don't take that out on Leo because prince wasn't where he was supposed to be. I see no problem with giving Lawman Prince's min.

MCD got 4 fouls in the first half. His shot was online tonight and he had a legit good game, but his foul trouble is an issue.

Beasley needs to visit a lost and found ASAP. He lost his game somewhere and I keep waiting for him to find it.

Dlo made a statement tonight with 7 rebounds and 9 assists in 22 minutes. Put aside the scoring and the efficiency at 7 of 11, DLo is a legit PG.

I know why JMAC was out, but does anyone know why Okogie and Beverly were out?

Lastly, KAT needs to stop helping on defense. I would rather opposing players make tough running layups instead of opposing bigs having uncontested dunks. I love the aggressiveness, but sometimes help isn’t helpful. Someone needs to tell KAT to stay with his man.

A lot of depth on this team. I guess it will be a 10 man rotation to start with Bev, Prince, Reid, and 2 of the 3 that don't start between Vanderbilt, Okogie and Beasley. McLaughlin and Nowell on the outside looking in unless there's injuries or poor play.

Layman and JMAC are true 3rd string guys. KAT, Ant, Dlo, MCD, Beasley, and Reid must be in the rotation no matter what. Every player not listed is in the grey zone. That said, Beverly, Nowell, Okogie, Vando, and Prince are all showing rotation worthy play. Bolmaro should probably go to the G to get play time and get used to NBA pace while waiting for someone to get injured and get his promotion to the big Wolves.

I really like Dlo pushing the pace. He's gonna have a good year. Looks way more confident and more in shape than last season.
KAT who's always been a slow starter to the season looks more ready than in previous season. We have depth and more intensity and finally some competent coaching. I am soooo HYPED!

I like him pushing the pace but I really hate him jacking up 3's in 1on4 situations. It happened two or three times last night.

General rule… If the assists exceed the attempts he probably has the greenlight… But if he’s jacking three-pointers that exceed his assist numbers then that has to change

If our bign3 stay healthy…yes. If kat goes down game 4 for 5 weeks and we lose 12 out of 14…no

We need to avoid that 5-10 game losing skid after starting out 2-0 or 4-1. Seems to happen every year…we have the perfect schedule to win games, build confidence and sustain it all year with all of those home games at the beginning

I doubt we break thirty-five, but more than thirty is possible.

Vert small sample size. I'm not going to be concerned.

I think we’re in that 35-40 win range, which is pretty good, but won’t put us in play-in game contention. I don’t think Gupta gets the job and we have an entirely new FO next offseason. Just a guess.

Beasley is horribly out of shape. If multiple Wolves media members have commented on that, you know it’s true. If anyone has played basketball regularly, gotten a bit out of shape, and then went back and played, you know how awful you typically play. Just can’t do things you did before. I can’t even imagine trying that at the NBA level.
