GDT-Cavs vs.Rockets (Wiggins/Bennett edition)

[longstrangetrip [enjin:6600564]]

The Woj tweet about LeBron James, AKA the de facto Cavs GM, reaching out to Kevin Love makes it seem like this is about to happen. Flip is probably just trying to squeeze as much out of it as he can, now that LBJ has served him leverage on a silver platter.

So, I'm ready to count my chickens before they hatch, and watch this game to evaluate our guys Wiggins and Bennett. Think about it...a franchise that has never owned the #1 pick in the draft is about to land the last two # 1's in exchange for a disgruntled guy who has never made the playoffs. A happier locker room and two # 1's rolled up into one tidy little package...or maybe not so tiny with over 14 feet in wingspan from these 2 prospects.

I canceled a meeting to watch this game, so git 'er done Flip!

Wiggins with Cleveland's first 6 points. His step back jumper makes him look like a veteran.

Bennett...tough start.

Bennett showing that up and under drop step move that was so tough at UNLV. I like that better than his first air balled 3.

The one thing I never got about this whole thing is Wiggins is going from the best passer in the game who he never played with in Lebron to the second best passer in the league in Ricky. It's not ideal, but it's not like he's going to the Sixers where they are actively tanking. Ricky makes playing basketball fun and I think could be huge for Wiggins' and Lavine's development.

Wiggins with the hustling transition defense. Hmmm...maybe he won't fit in with the Wolves very well.

Wiggins handle dosen't look to bad this game

And I thought Shabazz scored efficiently this afternoon. Wiggins currently has 18 points on 5 shots...the guy knows how to draw a foul.

With Shabazz, Wiggins, and LaVine, will there be any team with three guys who are more explosive jumpers?

[khans2k5 [enjin:6608728]]

He's getting fouled a lot on jumpers and I think the NBA guys will just give him that shot and make him beat them that way.

Well if he becomes a TWolf the defenses can only leave so many guys open for jumpers.

Neither Wiggins or Bennett is in right now. Ugh.
