Hey how about those Minnesota Twins who's excited for the rest of the regular season?

Trading away 10 of 26 players on the active roster at the trade deadline.
I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Rocco-Miller-Freeman-Jusang-Newton as starters in gleague. That's lot of size.

Sounds iffy if Newton is going to be back or not.

Earlier in the offseason, the Wolves extended a qualifying two-way offer for Newton. He never picked it up.

I predicted this. Rocco is 5th string, we don’t need a 6th.

I was expecting to see nothing but threes, but there's a lot of paint work in there. He seems to like getting close to the rim and using his size.


I like him as a wing with 3PT shot on two-way contract. Our g-league team needs a lot of shooting around Beringer to develop him within good spacing.

I don't see Le Berricade getting much time in the G at all.


If Finch pulls his no rookies crap then Jo Bear will be in the G (not optimal.) If we do it the right way, Jo Bear gets 12-14 minutes per game and never spends time in Iowa.

We can't go into the season with Tristen Newton as the 3rd point guard though.
That's front office malpractice.


I believe we went the entire season last year without a 3rd PG.

In my ideal scenario MIN signs Brogdon for vetmin, Newton for two-way. Would love to get CJ Fulton in gleague team.

My guess is Newton is going to try hard to find a full contract somewhere, and if he fails that, then decide where to sign a 2-way.

I think you will like Juzang as a deep bench guy. Good movement off ball and can shoot. I was really disappointed we kept Svi instead of him.

Definitely an interesting player. But he hasn't made the team yet.

Solid around the edge moves.

Happy they brought back Newton. He fills a niche the team lacks in an oversized PG, so it's smart for them to keep investing in him.
Was a huge fan of Freeman coming out of the draft so glad they could bring him in.
Juzang I didn't think would amount to anything when he was in the draft but he's clearly polished himself into a consistent 3pt shooter with enough other skill offensively that it's worth taking a shot on.

Juzang is interesting. Was pretty good in a tanking team, let's see how he can translate in our team.

We must've really been focused on the Fort Wayne Mad Ants last year, since we poached both Tristan Newton and Enrique Freeman from them!
