Ding Yanyuhang The CBA MVP last year apparently has a cult following. I watched some highlights of him after seeing our old friend Lorenzo Brown put him in a poster.

Now I am watching him in the DSJ vs Dunn and the 35 Chicago PGs. Ding looks like he could actually be a player.
Markkanen actually has looked good the few minutes I have seen him.
Dunn has struggled getting his shot to fall (to put it mildly) but made a couple hustle plays. DSJ has looked pretty good attacking. He just swatted a shot.
At the end of the 1st quarter the Wolves hanging in there so far against Toronto who has played a game already and has 3 NBA players on it. Marcus Paige has flashed a bit so far. Guys are playing hard and stuff.

We had a tough time defensive rebounding to start the game!
Yeah it was tough not getting those rebounds but they kept defending on those posession which is kinda impressive. I had to stop watching early in the 2nd to go eat with family. I hope you give a report if you keep watching Tim.

Ugh! I had to stop watching as well. I am back at it now, but I see where down 20+...
Thibs was on in the 2nd half, although I missed most of it. I am not seeing anyone who has a chance of earning a roster spot. I'm not sure how G-league rosters are filled out, but maybe a couple of guys will go there. Not sure what we might have in mind for those two-way contracts...

#11 is jack Gibbs the undersized Steph Curry from Davidson. Lol
Remember Toronto has played at least a game already and they have 3 NBA players on their roster. We may see some signs of life out of these guys yet. I agree though other than Paige nobody really jumped out except Putney looks even leaner than what he has been before. He is a 3 point shooting big.
