I really like Wright, he is a tough competitor, he is shooting like 47-40-90 in g-league

If I was Finch, I would play Wright and Nowell together with Dlo, MCD, and Reid. The extra defense couldn’t hurt nor the extra ball handling or shot creation. Glad Nowell is better.

Use the above link and scroll down to 17. It talks about how our starting 5 is no longer the best along with some good information as to why.

Best Lineup: The Timberwolves’ Starters
Shout-out to NBA.com’s John Schuhmann for spotting this one and tracking it throughout the season. Patrick Beverley, D’Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jarred Vanderbilt and Karl-Anthony Towns have shared the floor for 204 minutes, and they have outscored opponents by 125 POINTS during that time. That’s like winning by 29 points a night. Their 30.7 net rating is almost equal to that of the two next-closest five-man lineups with 150-plus minutes played.

In the past decade, only three five-man units have recorded a better per-possession scoring margin, including the original version of the Warriors’s Death Lineup, which outscored opponents by 40.2 points per 100 during the team’s 73-win season.
