KG in the starting lineup I get. That actually helps Towns developmentally to have KG start the game next to him. He's also our best defensive big. I get that. I don't see Prince as the wing-equivalent to KG. At all.

A couple more tweets from Jerry:

One reason Zach is back at PG: Sam thinks they're awfully small (or physically undeveloped) w/ Zach at 2, Wiggins at 3 & KAT at 5

Jerry Zgoda ?@JerryZgoda 2m2 minutes ago
Sam says only starting pos in ? is SF where he's got Prince, Rudez, Shabazz. Right now sounds like he likes Prince's vet presence and D

Puzzling. I can't think of a single good reason for this that aligns with any of the varying objectives of the team. Development? Nope. To take offensive pressure off Wiggins? Nope. To space the floor? Not really. Because he's our best wing defender? No again.


I'm just as puzzled as you. Sam's either a genius or a fool.

6'4, 6'6, 6'8, 6'11, 6'11. Ya, that's a small lineup. Prince is not that much bigger than Zach relative to his position. I think it's easier to get away with 190 at the 2 than 212 at the 3. If he wanted beef he should be starting Bazz. None of this adds up.

A couple of quick fouls on Towns. I think we'll see a lot of that this year. Glad we have Dieng. :-)

These calls on KG, Giannis and Towns are garbage. Refs gotta let them play more. Swiping your hand in the air and drawing contact isn't an off-ball foul.

Cripes. I told all you guys we should have drafted Mayo instead of Love! (Just Kidding).

So far I still can't see what value Prince adds. I would have much preferred LaVine taking that corner three that Prince just took.
