Ant - I am predicting a big jump in his ft attempts this season. The league needs a new face soon and ant is on his way to superstar status.
Jaden- He will lower his fouls and will be the 3rd option in the lineup with conley running the point and hopefully rudy settling into a role player.
Kat - Bounce back year from him.He will remind us how good he is in a more suited number 2 guy behind ant.

If it isn't Minott, this team is at best a play-in team again.

So you're saying the key to us taking a leap is Minott??? That's kind of bizarre.WildWolf2813 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 1:40 am If it isn't Minott, this team is at best a play-in team again.
Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
I blame lip. He just started a thread about Minott and Miller and calls them the best propspects in franchise history or somehting like that. Lip had me hyped about these two. His lawyering skills were on full display there.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:36 amSo you're saying the key to us taking a leap is Minott???

Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
The way the roster is right now Minott Miller and Moore aren’t really gonna play much unless there are injuries and that’s probably a good thing.worldK wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 10:12 amI blame lip.

Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
I don't think simply being healthy is enough. This team when healthy still has a glass jaw, still plays down to its competition, still blows big leads and still doesn't make enough adjustments to counteract other teams.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:36 amSo you're saying the key to us taking a leap is Minott???

With the guys that are here, we kinda know who they are and what they provide. Minott is the big wild card. After all, we're inevitably preparing Minott or Miller to take KAT's place. TC is making these marginal selections in the hopes that they buoy the big ticket items. Considering we've almost totally given up on Moore at this point, Minott is next.
Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
We’ll see about Minott… I’m a big Minott guy, but he’s going to have show out to get playing time. This team is *deep* all of sudden. But if he steps up, he could definitely be the Wolves’ break out player.
Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
I’m not ready to declare the Wolves have become deep, unless you count Minott, Moore and/or Miller. Otherwise, we’ve essentially substituted Shake for Prince, NAW for Nowell, and Troy Brown for Rivers. I think NAW is better than Nowell, but his career stats say he’s not. I see Shake and Prince as a wash. And I have no idea what to think of Brown. If this team isn’t healthier than it was last season, I’d expect the same result or worse given the significant improvement among a number of West Conference teams. So KAT has to come back and play at least 70+ games. At the same time, Ant, Jaden, Rudy, Naz and Anderson have to be at as healthy as they were last season. Note that Ant, Jaden and Rudy missed very few games last season.
Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
Minott isn't even going to be in the rotation to start the season. I agree he's a wild card as far as the longer term future goes, but even if he busts into the rotation this season, it's silly to suggest that he's the guy that will determine whether we get beyond the play in or not this season. I mean, really???WildWolf2813 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 2:15 pmI don't think simply being healthy is enough.

Re: Breakout Players for Next Year
Yeah I don't understand the hype with Minott. He's really no different than we felt about Nowell and Okogie a couple years ago. Let's see him take a leap before we start hailing him as a future building block.
