He was working Naz there as the game wore on. What Boston shows though is that you can be an elite defense with a 6"8 Center that simply walls up and holds his ground. Naz hopefully learned a lot, in that he is built similarly.

Remember Naz is really weak, he got a 0 on the bench press I believe. I feel like he walls up well but until he gets stronger he will struggle.
There is a player in there though. It's sort of sad the JMac and Naz are both Undrafted and I have higher hopes in them instead of the guy we traded up to 6th to get in Culver
Russell: 5 out of 16 field goal attempts; 1 for 9 from behind the arc; -14. JMac 11 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in only 16 minutes. Not an impressive night gor DLO in spite of his assist numbers.
Beasley's the real deal. I just hope he doesn't price himself too high for the Wolves budget.
H-Gomez is solid and Naz can be really good.
Okogie is very solid. His defense is consistently terrific and he's become solid on the offensive end. Unlike Culver, Okogie's shot has never been fundamentally broken.
Crabbe got 10 minutes tonight. I don't understand giving him as much as 1 minute. Those were 10 minutes that should have gone to Martin or Nowell.
Oh, and we do need an NBA-caliber head coach - I'd be ok with Vanterpool or Prig.
But I'm not going to get too bent out of shape over a 10-point loss to an elite team with our best player out.

With our best player playing do lose by more or less? Sigh

Id be hard pressed to think of anything that could bend you out of shape if you've kept your tickets through this shit storm.

KEK, you are such a hypocrite. Ryan has more intelligence than you.
Beasley is going to be paid nicely. Whatever the Wolves end up paying him, they probably could have just got him in free agency without giving up assets as Denver wasn't likely to match for a guy who wasn't even in their rotation and he probably would have cost considerably less.. It will be funny if a team like Charlotte or Detroit offers him a lot of money. I have zero confidence in Rosas.

I did not know that. Wait, are you serious? He looks like he could be strong as an ox. If anything, there is more upside to be had if what you say is true. He has the frame to become really strong. I also noticed he was on the ground a lot last night.
The thing we have to remember is that he is a 20-year old undrafted free agent. Theis is a 27-year old man with a ton of high level experience, even before coming to the NBA a few years ago. If Naz really commits himself to the weight room and improving his overall fitness, he could be really good.
