Dane Moore does an interesting pod this morning about our 2nd best player. I find it funny that while most people will discuss Rudy, Randle, and Naz as our top players after Ant, no one is as impactful to winning (for better or worse,) than Jaden. Good Jaden is a floor raiser in every aspect of the game, and combine him with good Ant and one other main Wolf, and we are very tough to beat.

We are one of 4 teams in the league with a higher win % on the road than at home. We have more games on the road than at home to finish the regular season. Should we make the playoffs, we will be on the road (4 of 7)in the first round, and more than likely on the road (4 of 7) in the conference semifinals.

Considering the fact that MIN went twice in WCF I feel good about our group of Beringer, TSJ, Dillingham and Clark. All West team have top level talent in young players, but development process consists of many things and factors. Let see how MIN will be able to help our young group to succeed and how our young players responds.

Nice post. I think you were pretty generous for some of the people you named.

What if Bones Hyland is our Nickeil Alexander-Walker?

Both players came into the league acclaimed for their offense. However, over time they fell out of favor on the teams that drafted them and bounced around the league through their first four seasons. Acquired by Minnesota as an afterthought to the fan base, but had a connection to the Minnesota front office/coaching staff. In Minnesota, NAW really reinvented himself and won over the coaching staff as he grew into a role as just a heady offensive player who could do a little bit of facilitating, a little bit of 3-point shooting, and a good amount of effort on defense. Early on, I believe there is a path forward in this lane for Bones.
