But the point isn't that the Wolves should be running more plays for him. The point is that he doesn't seem good at creating opportunities for himself without specific plays being run for him. Shabazz is the polar opposite. The guy hunts down points like a rabid dog.
(I don't mean to compare Wiggins vs. Shabazz as overall players, but to simply contrast how engaged they are when they don't have the ball in their hands).
Q, I'm getting a little worried about you,lol. You seem to be getting pretty angry so early in the pre-season. Let's just wait and see how the real games play out for a while.
What I always liked about Tyus is that analytics supported him being a successful NBA player. Kinda like how Ty Lawson was before he fell in the draft. Thats why I was stoked when the Wolves actually made a move for him. Considering that it is a "development" year, I think I would rather have Rudez make the team over LoBro. I like LoBro but I feel that Ricky, Tyus, and Dre can handle the 1 just fine. Rudez can be a great guy to put in when the team needs a 3.
Angry? I'm not sure how one could read anger out of my recent posts. Concerned? Sure, as we all want to see signs of improvement.
Given our long history of incompetence and bad luck as a franchise, one can surely understand why us loyal fans get a little sensitive to any sign of poor performance....even in the pre-season.

I think Q has been pretty consistent and giving Bazz props for his all out effort to get offensive opportunities and going after boards and contrasting that with wanting more out of Wiggins. Who would have thought Bazz was gonna be a big motor guy coming out of college?
I'm afraid to write or suggest anything remotely negative or indifferent or critical or insinuating or anything except glowing praise about Wiggins for fear of 9-month-long backlash.
[Note: Agree completely about the coaching tree on the sidelines. If it's not clear by now where successful innovations come from (really really good assistant coaches like Thibodeau, Budenholzer, Malone, Gentry, et al) than all hope is lost on the sidelines for Minnesota.
The two nepotism legacy hires.
Sidney Lowe... who is the only man in basketball history to be considered a HORRIBLE (possibly the worst) coach at the NBA level and also fail in ridiculously comical fashion in college as a coach.
And Sam Mitchell.
Apparently, the Country Club has room to add a fraternity.

It doesn't take much for Abe to have an excuse to tell us how bad Lowe was as a HC. I like that about Abe.
