How much more embarrassment can the state of Minnesota handle today?

I think Mclaughlin should be up he was at least solid in creating and ball handling.

Yeah, the G-League guys have been really bad the last couple of nights. KBD and Kelan Martin. These aren't young G-Leaguers either. Disappointing that we can't seem to uncover and develop guys, yet other teams seemingly find them on a regular basis.

at Philadelphia
vs Milwaukee
at Memphis
vs Denver
vs Washington
vs Houston

Minnesota's losses are not representative of a good basketball team. Sure, some make sense, but the Wolves have had an easy strength of schedule to this point and they probably should have taken advantage of it.

Jake Layman shouldn't be any team's second-best shooter from deep. You'd think Minnesota would invest in a flamethrower in the draft at some point considering they never improve anyone's shot while they're here.

Curry instead of Flynn. Paul George instead of Wes Johnson. CJ McCollum instead of Shabazz, Buddy Hield instead of Kris Dunn, Tyler Herro instead of Jarrett Culver.

The latest draft day decision still needs to play out, but the other verdicts are in. And these would not have necessarily been hindsight-only type picks at the time. These were perfectly reasonable choices we could have just as well made versus the one we did make.

I thought it wasn't that bad until the last two games but those last two games have exposed some major flaws in this team. Beal had 22 shots and got 14 FTA, Harden had 41 shots and 11 FTA meanwhile Towns had 18 shots 8 FTA vs WASH and 15 shots 6 FTA vs HOU. Just plain flawed misuse of a star player, we should feel embarrassed, pist off and demand a more sound game plan.

If I was drafting for the Wolves we would have had Curry, McCollum, and Murray (Dunn). We would probably be okay.
