Best part is his thoughts on Wiggins' defense. He really should become one of the better defenders in the league at the very least.

The best part is Isiah Thomas pushing the wrong cough button, muting Thibs so everyone can hear the cough instead

FYI Thibs knows basketball really well. Great conversation.

That was a good conversation with Thibs. I also enjoyed the interview with Ujiri in the first half, though a totally different type of interview. I'd never seen or heard him before so was a little surprised that he was more than just a hard core analytics guy.

At the very least, I hope we can find a decent cheap wing who can defend at a decent level. Ain't nobody on our summer league roster that can do that. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Maybe we give out 10 day contracts till we find someone who sticks.

Well... It looks like Burton is another Coty Clarke, rather than Dray Green Lite. Beachem and Cooke have not shown either.

Burton sure looked sluggish and slow.

Damn DSJ looks as good as I thought he would, Bender is such a bust can't believe most of the wolves fanbase wanted him last year and Jackson
Looks like a worst shooting and slower Wiggins..if I was a Suns fan I'd be worried with the last three lottery picks , Chriss looks terrible too.

I wouldn't look too much into summer league. Chriss had a good rookie year. Some of these guys just try to do too much in SL, once they get more of a role and coaching they'll be alright.

chriss should be dominating

Marcus Paige, CJ Williams, and Matt Costello look solid so far in this game.

So this team with probably zero guys who end up on the Wolves roster is killing the Nuggets team with like 3 guys guaranteed making their team. Nice!

Dayton guy has a nice jumper. Paige looks like he could get a shot with someone. Perry Ellis has looked solid as well as Costello.

I'd love to pick Paige up as our 3rd PG.

You don't or you do?
I am just glad Thibs didn't draft Lydon who looked like he didn't even belong on summer league roster.
I kinda wish we didn't pass on John Collins who looked good hope Patton surprises us.

Neeva · Post #96 » by **Neeva** » Mon Jul 10, 2017 1:23 am

Zach Collins looks bad, not surprised at all.

Whoops. Auto-correct fail. I meant "I'd love..."

Marcus Paige reminds me of Dana Barros. I'd be fine with him as our 3rd PG.

Swish4 · Post #99 » by **Swish4** » Mon Jul 10, 2017 2:23 am

Paige is shooting the ball well, but having serious ball security issues.

Post #100 » by **Klomp** » Mon Jul 10, 2017 3:30 am

I haven't been watching, but Paige seems like a great candidate for a 2-way contract.
