The stream was good for a while, but now Reddit stream has overlaid game with ads that I can't get out of and I'm getting "unsafe site" warnings. Might be time to jump off and watch later when I should be able to watch a replay via ESPN or League Pass. 'll just boxscore watch for now.

Completely understand. They can be a pain in the ass. Was just trying to help out. Have a goodnight KG
Re: Summer league GDT 2
George missed the step back, but he almost broke Minott's ankles on that move and Josh had no chance to recover and contest. He's not ready to guard legit perimeter threats.
Re: Summer league GDT 2
It’s important to avoid drawing definitive conclusions from any one summer league game, much less one half of a summer league game. But I’ll say this after watching one and a half Wolves summer league games so far this year. Trevion Williams will never play a minute in the NBA. It’s fun to watch some of his passes on college highlight videos. Otherwise, watching him play against summer league competition is actually pretty painful.
That’s my only definitive conclusion from this year’s summer league so far. But I’ll offer a few tentative conclusions. First, Brandon Williams and Josh Minott will eventually be NBA players. Not sure they’ll be starters or even major rotation players, but they’ll both have NBA careers. Second, Leonard Miller is going to be a really good NBA player. I put his floor at NBA rotation player. I’m not ready to put a ceiling on him yet. Third, I don’t see any NBA players on the Wolves roster other than these three eventually becoming NBA players.

Re: Summer league GDT 2
Yep. He’s not ready yet to guard those legit perimeter threats. But I’ve seen him effectively cut off quick perimeter players. He held up well guarding Dyson Daniels on several possessions and he’s had some success tonight. The quickness is there, but his technique has a long way to go.
Re: Summer league GDT 2
I don't know....hard to teach lateral quickness. He's one of these guys that is quick and bouncy north-south, but doesn't move laterally well. But I think he could eventually match up against bigger 3s and smaller 4s. Not sure he can contain quicker guards and wings on switches, etc.Lipoli390 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 10:04 pmYep.

Re: Summer league GDT 2
Minott and Miller are ACTIVE
Re: Summer league GDT 2
Miller has a nice frame on him. No question in my mind that he can eventually play 5 and hold up physically against most NBA 5s. Needs a few years to add weight, strength, and technique, but really like his game and physical profile.
Re: Summer league GDT 2
Lol. I was about to post the same question. #14 is absolutely terrible - even worse than T. Williams.
. But boy is Leonard Miller good! I’d still say Minott is a year away. But I don’t think Miller can be kept out of the Minnesota Wolves rotation for the entire season.
