Ty Wallace didn't play I'll be shocked if he doesn't get cut. Graham looks like he will get legit rotation minutes and in 2 preseason games he clearly deserves it.
Re: Wolves vs GS
I liked Jordon Poole in college and thought he had a chance to be pretty good (or a bust) but in 2 preseason games he has looked like a steal for the Warriors and many draft folks thought the pick was a reach. It will be interesting to see if he continues to play well.

He has moved REALLY well and is just so big. He looks meaningfully taller than Vonleh. He still doesn't get much lift when he jumps which hurts his ability to finish at the rim but he looks ahead of where I would have thought he would be. Hopefully he didn't hurt himself too much at the end of the game.
Re: Wolves vs GS
KBD with a bunch slow smooth drives to the rim. Doesn't look like he has much interest in shooting 3's.
Speaking of smooth players Culver has a nice feel of getting to and finishing around the rim. Yeah he has missed a couple bunnies but he looks like he knows what he is doing out there. Nailed some 3's also.
Vonleh needs to play with guys who know what they are doing. That's probably some owner damning commentary but I think he can offer value but I think he isn't a Guy on offense that knows what he is supposed to do. Defensively I think he is ok maybe even solid but offensively I think he can offer more if he knows what he is supposed to be doing and mostly sticks to that.
Graham is out there basically playing smart solid play in a similar way to Deng last year. If Graham does that most nights it's gonna be hard not to have him on the floor every night for at least some minutes. Realistically I'm not expecting that type of consistency from him but would be happy to be surprised! :) I thought he would be solid but he has been better than I was expecting.

Re: Wolves vs GS
Noah Vonleh is who he's always been. There are no surprises here. He definitely looks ?the part on measurables and physical attributes alone, but the on-court production is lacking and unworthy of minutes at the NBA level. Minnesota better hope Jordan Bell and Naz Reid can step up because Gorgui Dieng sure as hell isn't capable either.

That's encouraging. Wondering how his hustle/motor looked like these last couple games (I haven't watched)?
I noticed in Summer League he seemed highly skilled, but out of shape. He almost played an old-man skill game out there with his 3's and precise passes, but couldn't seem to stay on the floor much without running out of gas. Hoping that improves, because he could be a nice surprise if he is in NBA shape.

I only saw him play this last game (went to bed before he got in, in the 1st game). He had great hustle, especially on the glass. Made a nice baseline cut where Wiggins found him for an easy dunk.
He looks out of shape. Even bigger than in SL to me. But looked like effort was increased compared to SL

Re: Wolves vs GS
Naz needs to develop that 3 ball or more craftiness around the rim. Hes got peks vertical, but without the lower body strength.
Kinda speightslike.

29 win team this year.
Naz, maybe KBD, definitely Nowell along with the two way guys should get as much run as humanly possible in G League
