They were 12 deep early in the season but lost a lot of that with the Butler trade. The deep bench guys are fine for the regular season and if someone pops for 5 mins in the playoffs that is great but they can't count on it.

This run they just made was huge. But idk who is closing this one out.

Wolves need another Center in the off-season because Naz is not a 5.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

6th man at best, but nobody knows yet. His first step, handles, and shake are absolutely elite. No one can stay in front of him.

His ego and IQ are the thing. His defense is passable for a 6th man. I don’t think he’s a starter though, unless he’s nuclear on offense.
