Wouldn't mind Paige here even if he is 100% redundant with Jones.

I really do hope Thibs is scouring Summer League looking for worthy players to round out the bench. This team can't be too good to do that.

These guys are talking Costello up and...he has been pretty good so far. CJ Williams is a guy to keep your eye on. I watched some highlights of him the other day and he is a pretty solid d-league player.

Wolves look better today. They started some different guys an they looked better. Burton has looked meh... Paige really can contest with his long arms. He dribbled into trouble and got tied up but then won the jump easily over a guy that looked bigger.

Yes sir

Costello has been impressive. I looked up his D-league stats with the Energy last year. Basically 10-10 and 1.6 blocks in just under 25 minutes. That's pretty good.

Burton finally did some positive things. He hasn't been that good overall though.

Cooke looks longer than I expected. His shot looks good.

Gibbs has tried to do too much with some of his passes.

It's pretty impressive the Wolves are doing this to a team with legit NBA player on it. Let's close this out.

A couple more thoughts.

Cooke looks intruiging but I don't think he looks like a guy that knows what to do except score for himself. That's not saying he is selfish he just may not get it yet. That's probably why he hasn't gotten as much time as other guys. He put up points though. VJ didn't play.

Costello had a double double he really knows how to stay verticle and not foul and contest. He took a couple 3's and didn't miss terribly. He is a pretty good FT shooter. He probably won't ever have offense but if he can D and rebound he could be plenty worthwhile.

I'm pretty sure it was John Lucas III on the bench. I wonder if he has a new position with the Wolves.

CJ Williams is a guy I really like. He seems to know what he can do and does it. Seems tough and smart and can shoot and then handle the ball and pass enough.

Randolph had a nice stroke and was where he was supposed to be on D.

Watching Blazers vs Celtics.

Collins fouling. Semi guarded him and made him throw up a prayer.

Tatum looks sleeker. Looks much more like a wing than a combo guy physically.

Swanigan just looks like the old dude that you play ball with. Looks like he is in good shape though.

My guy Pat C in just a few minutes...looks like maybe he should take the opportunity to be a pitcher. Lol

Tatum looks good so does J Brown. Semi has done a nice enough job. Zizic has looked ok.

Swanigan has put in some work. Collins has been a mixed bag. Jake Layman has not looked like a guy putting up 1,000 shots a day and has also been blocked twice at the rim.
