I feel like it's really going to pay dividends in the postseason.

DDV is the mad bomber - that spin 3pt is such a terrible shot if it doesn't go it.

He is been playing well and fits in. Still a little lazy around the rim on defense but a lot better since being of the year

Anyone else watching hornets stream? Both play by play and color guy aren't very good.

Kinda sad that Jaden is stuck on 29 and Randle is stuck 1 assist shy of the triple double. Wolves dicking around and both giving Hornets life while denying their own guys the stat highlights.

BTW, Jaden McDaniels is… Underpaid! That dude is worth every penny and probably 5 million more.

He was overpaid last year and earlier this year, so we broken even

A fairly good game overall by the Wolves. Seeing Jaden continue his offensive breakout is really fun to watch. Having the rash of injuries hurt the team's record, but it might be a good thing long term due to it forcing Jaden to be aggressive looking for his own shot.

Last year he made rookie scale. You think an All NBA 2nd team defender who still averaged 10 PPG was overpaid on 28th pick salary? As for early this year, his shooting was struggling, his defense was still good. Jaden could very well turn into one of the best contracts in basketball.

I forgot his extension started this year or last year. So, he was definitely overpaid starting the year. We were talking about trading him, just defense was not worth the money.

Randle one assist shy of a 25 point triple double.

It would have been nice to get, a flowery reminder to fans and trade partners that the guy is very good.
