DLO, Beasley, Okogie, RHJ, KAT

Rubio, Edwards, Culver, Juancho, Davis

A good mix of O and D everywhere.

The rest can fill in when needed.

McDaniels to the G-league effective immediately.


I like it but would use Reid as Kats backup.

I'm not sure why anyone would be confused by this signing. The Wolves have one moderately established (being somewhat kind) PF in Juancho and Layman is the most well suited to play as a typical big SF. The positions RHJ plays are at the forward spot. He played SF some with the Raptor last year I saw a few highlights That I watched last night where he was on the floor with Gasol and Siakim. We got a guy that I thought would at least get 3 million from someone for a non-guaranteed deal that plays 2 positions we have need. It's kind of a no-brainer and he is still relatively young.

Some people were disappointed to some extent we shipped James Johnson away. RHJ brings a lot of the same stuff he did only he can't shoot 3's at all. Johnson also had a lot of girth but overall they can help a team as part of a rotation. RHJ with or without the ball gets down the floor really fast. He can handle the ball has a pretty decent assist rate Especially for a guy that doesn't shoot well. If you want to play fast here is a guy that has the skill set to do so. Switch everything play interchangeable basketball? Sure. RHJ is flawed but I feel like there is a chance he becomes the next James Johnson, Luc B Moute type guy that Just simply does plenty enough to help you win basketball games. I hope we can find some way to keep him without losing value from some other player like Nowell Or McLaughlin. Of course the better outcome would be Vanderbilt looks good enough they don't need RHJ and let him go and Soon enough Vanderbilt even turns into a bigger version of RHJ. That would be a pretty nice player even if he wasn't a starting level guy. It also feels optiQistic. :)
