Hifi filling it up.

4 Minutes: 5 points (2/2), 1 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL.

Loving TSJ there! Looking like a homerun pick!

TSJ needs to keep this up. He is looking like our MVP. Pleasantly surprised by Nix defense, his offense is also better than expected. RD starting slow, Minott a mixed bag, looking good overall.

Shannon is a way, way better passer than advertised.

RD looking painful when he attacks. Hifi a little too shot happy. The defense is interesting to put it kindly. Miller showing some flashes and hit a 3.

Hifi is super active on defense. Really good to see.

Rob's now set up dudes at least 4 times with wide open shots they missed.

I’m at Thomas & Mack rn, do not think I’ll ever see a better poster in real life. Terrance Shannon Jr. is a joy to watch y’all. His first step is quick!

I want it on the record that folks were upset last season about Josh Minott and Leonard Miller not getting minutes. They'll get their shot this year, but people really need to pump the brakes a bit.

Really like Terrence Shannon Jr.'s physicality!

Miller, Clark and Minott looked rough in the first half. Rob struggled with his shot but as a pg he looks good, no turnovers. DSJ like I said before is my pick for ROY without him on the floor they looked rough.

The difference between being 23 and 19 as a rookie is pretty obvious. Shannon has been the best player on the court. Dillingham looks like a 19 year old playing his first professional game.

TSJ. I already love that dude.

Dilly going to take some time. He’s going to have to guard and go at guys taller, longer, and that outweigh him by 40+ pounds. Trey Young struggled his summer league adjusting. Dilly will figure it out.

The reat talent on the floor for the Wolves looks like Nix, Hifi, Shannon and to a lesser extent Dillingham. Minott and Miller have had moments, but idk.

Would also add that his controlled chaos nature will have more effect in a half court game, not a glorified street-ball game.

TSJ, Minott, and Nix showing off. RD, Hifi, and Miller with a disappointing showing. Clark is meh with a bad offensive showing. Ledee and Edwards cannot seem to grab a rebound or do anything to stand out.

Minott has been more important than you give him credit for. He helps on defense, contributes to rebounding, and the offense flows better with him on the court than off. Hifi is ball hogging and taking questionable shots. RD hasn’t shown much on either end. Missed some layups badly, been blown by on defense, and is not rebounding his position well with box outs.

He might be shooting too much because he's trying to earn a spot, but I think he's looked very good. He's been an absolute pest on defense - which is all you can ask of a guy his size.

RD not turning it over, but also not penetrating or creating. He just swings it, nothing more.

Minotts been good on defense, but I still see no scoring talent from him outside of 3 feet and he still looks out of control.

Rob, I'm looking for the basics in his first start since high school. He's got good handles, (as I say that he lost the ball, but TJ covered) looks in control, is reading the defense and most importantly not pressing when his team is playing well. And he just ran a perfect break.

He's young.

He's definitely got some "first game jitters", but I don't see anything worrying.
