Ultimately this is good for Paolo, because this is how defenses will guard him in the playoffs. He needs to find his bag.

This is just a brutal matchup for Paolo with no Franz.

McDaniels is a great point of attack defender and he can funnel Paolo right into a pair of 7 footers in the paint, one of whom is a 3x Defensive Player of the Year.

Gobert is an issue for Paolo, he would have same effect on Franz as well unless Moe can drag him far out to perimeter.

Cole isn't good enough to be top 5 in minutes played. Can't wait till our first playoff build is unveiled next season.

Coach is going to need to have Paolo post up. Wolves are doing a great job of stopping him from the top of the key.

Yeah he needs to trust the midrange, just spam it, who cares, he's sabotaging the offense being indecisive.

Queen always seems to make the right play every time the ball swings his way. Personally like his game more than Cole lol.

He's got length but he is on the smaller side. I've been wanting for us to sign a bigger center for certain matchups.

Zach Edey would be great

What’s up with Wendell? Why is he out? Tendinitis again?

He looks like he could be a solid rotation player, after we clean up the roster some.

Always thought Towns height was exaggerated but he looks bigger than Goga and Mo
