At some point wolves fans will just have to accept that Dell is a swing and a miss by Connelly and that pick should have been Nembhard or Hardy (like a lot of wolves fans wanted).

Oh well at least Connelly made up for that error with Minott and Miller. Miller is like a mix of Naz and Vando.


I’m not seeing the Vando.

I think everyone's saying it because of the rebounding....

Is Leonard Miller about to become the best second round pick ever made by Tim Connelly?

Funny, but I doubt it. :lol:

Thanks a million for this I had not thought to try ESPN+!
It's attached to Hulu as part of the hulu/disney+ bundle we have for the kid.


Great! I'm gad it works for you. I love it! For 10 bucks it's a bargain for all you get.

Yeah. He has way better hands and offensive instincts and ability than Vando.


I meant Vando’s hustle and rebounding.

Miller gives up another three ball. Not impressed with his D. He’s trying to defend, but his quickness or anticipation is not there. Can rebound some though.

Yeah. He has way better hands and offensive instincts and ability than Vando.

Dare I say his skill set/potential is closer to KG than it is to Vando?!?!

I appreciate his optimism in trying to score on him, but Moore is repeatedly getting clamped by Dyson Daniels

But his D is worse than Vando. You can see that on D he’s not like a Minott or Dyson Daniels even in this game.

He's 19 years old for goodness sakes!

It's his very first SL game and the only reason he dropped to us is because he's a project. And he's had like 1 week of NBA coaching.

Minott and Daniels are in year 2.

With what I have seen so far I still say Rosas is the GOAT Wolves GM when it comes to mining talent.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

He's definitely bigger than last year, but has a ways to go.

I look at him more as a 3 than a 4....


Well he's going to need to develop a handle and/or a reliable outside shot for that.
But he's got a high motor and great athleticism.
He can play the 4, bigger guys might give him trouble still.

With coaching he has the ability to be a good defender. He has the natural talent to be good there. He's so young without much experience. He needs time.

Yah no , 2019, 2020 were just better drafts. The Culver and Bolmaro picks were atrocious. At the draft they were average athletes that couldn’t shoot and thats what they still are.

Probably. Its tough to top McDaniels with a late 1st and Naz undrafted.

Miller and Minott could blur that line in another year or so...
