Preseason thread

That is not so uncommon. The dude is 143 pounds and cannot defend. In any case, Minott and Dilly are probably 9 and 10. Garza and Jingles might usurp depending on need.

Either you're unbelievably wrong, using hyperbole or flat out lying. Dillingham weighed 163 at the draft testing. Combine or whatever they call it.

I may be wrong but didn’t they say 143 on the draft videos?

Naw he was 163 at the draft.

Word is he's already grown 2 inches and put on 15 lbs of pure muscle since.

McDaniels with quick fouls, let's see TSJ. Nvmnd the sent in NAW .

[wolves_89]

Trying to feed Rudy rolling to the basket has been ugly to start the preseason.

[TwolvesFanRome]

Dontesexual ...can I say it?

[Sealab2024]

Nothing falling for the wolves right now.

[wolves_89]

NAW and Naz 0-7 on 3s all of which have been relatively open looks.

[Guest84]

Haven’t focused too much on the game but I will say I think NAW is too involved with ball handling duties.

I understand allowing guys to explore their game in order to grow, but I’d rather have him be a cutter, catch and shoot player. Start the action sometimes but not as much as he is.

I can def see him involved in trade at the deadline with DDV being here.

Naz!

[Calinks]

Minott looks so much better this season.

[Muskies97]

Man we are really blessed to watch a Timberwolves team this good. My first year watching the Wolves was right after they traded KG so I never believed we could be an elite team lol

[wolves_89]

Minott looks so much better this season.

Outside the guys who will be the top 8 of the rotation, I'd say Minott has had the best preseason by a pretty good margin.

[wolves_89]

They've given NAW the freedom to try to expand his offensive role, but so far he hasn't shown that he can be successful doing more than last season.

[theGreatRC]

inject Donte Divincenzo as a starter into my veins.

[Sealab2024]

We're gonna have to find 15 minutes a night for Josh. This kid looks all kinds of ready.

[BlacJacMac]

Knicks are running drop with KAT as their base.

That's not going to end well.

[jpatrick]

Donte and Ant were great. Only player that’s been really bad has been Dilly, and this is clearly one of those bad games Finch was talking about.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

NAW isn’t a backup PG, and we need one. I still think DDV will end up in that role this year, but Dilly being PG3 and fighting for PG2 is good for his development.

LOL you went on for pages about how you were concerned about Dilly’s PG skills.

13 assists to 1 turnover, I'd be concerned too.

That's G League level, absolutely

[FrenchMinnyFan]

I'm not concerned at all. We play without Randle and magic Mike and this is preseason. ANT and DDV are damm ready, the others not so today...

[El Hespiritu]

Doesn't really matter at this stage.

But this first match between both teams involved in The Trade shows that Donte's adaptation to MIN game is going quicker and smoother than KAT's adaptation to NYK game.

[winforlose]

LOL you went on for pages about how you were concerned about Dilly’s PG skills.

13 assists to 1 turnover, I'd be concerned too.

That's G League level, absolutely

It’s 14 to 2 now, his turnover rate doubled. Isn’t it funny how small sample sizes in exhibition games work? Shout out to Finch who said RD will have 1 good game, 1 average game, and 1 bad game every 3 games.
