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.

I know right. The sample size is just so huge, and against such intense defense. I think we both can feel great about him starting against Denver or OKC if Mike is out

Recc'd for the scathing sarcasm. :lol:

7:1 would be top 10 in the league, FYI.

I make a point about how small sample sizes are susceptible to wild fluctuations, and this is your takeaway? You are trolling territory.

You cited his turnover right NOW, did you not? Why cite it if you think that number doesn't have any value?

I made a post earlier talking about how 2 preseason games is a poor sample size. I then followed it up with this post saying a bad game doubled his turnover rate. The point was the sample size. You can even I see it in the second half of my sentence.

All players have the same sample size right now. You can defend or criticize anyone based on that. But you’re a Dilly hater so only one guy gets that treatment from you. Just one.

Yes they do. Which is why you don’t see me drawing conclusions from anyone stats. That is the point I was making. I am much more focused on things like defense and mechanics (boxing out being a big one,) as opposed to stats. That is why I said Jingles is in danger of falling out of the rotation.

No worries guys , pre-season games have not much value in terms of performance, stats.... i think we all agree that RD has a great potential. I agree with Finchy, he will have good nights, and bad one, may even not play some games, it's all part of the learning process and we play to win. Regarding Joe, im not worry too much, he is a competitor, once season start he will be better than pre-season games. One week to wait and finally here we go ! Go Wolves !

I'm not liking the Wolves shot selection so far against the Bulls. All the Ant and Randle jumpers have been forced and not in the flow of the offense.

First game I've watched this season, have really liked how McDaniels has looked on offense, has he looked this solid earlier in the pre-season?

wolves_89 · Post #189 » by **wolves_89** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 12:23 am

Randle standing around way too much on defense and seems pretty lost on the defensive rotations.

Filing for future trade discussions...

Chris Finch coached Lonzo Ball in New Orleans.

He has assisted on 4 of our 7 FGs.

Love Julius Randle's drive and kick game, but his conditioning is totally shot defensively. Going to be a work in progress, there.

Anthony Edwards is being a massive chucker tonight, not liking his game at all right now.

wolves_89 · Post #193 » by **wolves_89** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 12:28 am

After watching the Wolves have high effort defense from everyone last season, Randle is really standing out for his lack of it.

Too bad we traded the only guy who could pass to Rudy....

As expected for someone playing for the first time since February

Interesting that Minott seems to be ahead of Ingles in the rotation again tonight.

wolves_89 · Post #197 » by **wolves_89** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 12:45 am

I'm surprised that the Wolves aren't staggering the Ant and Randle rest, they really need one of them on the court as much as possible.

Post #198 » by **Domejandro** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 1:05 am

Anthony Edwards has largely been a disaster tonight.

FrenchMinnyFan · Post #199 » by **FrenchMinnyFan** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 1:05 am

Poor first , shooting don't go in and defense is absent. Pre-season game style. ANT probably going for 20 3 attempt...

Minot the only +- positive that half. +3
