I guess I compare him to Corey only because we are all so familiar with him as someone that gives maximum effort but can't shoot straight. Yes, he is probably more similar to Marcus Smart and Kris Dunn when you consider his physical profile: Strong, athletic, long arms.

Speaking of Dunn he is out 4-6 weeks with an MCL sprain.

Exactly the point I was intending to make. I'm not a particularly knowledgeable fan when it comes to the details of the game, and more than that I'm a homer that knows very little about players from other teams that aren't All-Star like talents. Given that, my view from 1000ft is that both Okogie and Brewer were effort guys who were far better defensively than offensively, and who played a bit out of control at times. The differences that Lip pointed out make perfect sense, but were beyond the point I was making, and mostly beyond my knowledge to ever recognize for that matter.

One thing I really noticed in this game when it comes to pace of play is...Jimmy Butler. He was getting the ball up the floor and getting up the floor much quicker than last year. If Butler buys in to getting up and down that will help a lot. He was often part of the problem there...before the slow down 4th quarter stuff thats a different type of issue. It was reported by a couple people the guys are really liking playing with pace so hopefully they keep it up.

Through 4 games you won't believe this stat, the wolves lead the NBA in corner 3 attempts. (We are shooting poorly but they are getting them up)

As others have said, perhaps Thibs is finally changing his stubborn ways. Still early.
