Iowa Wolves

[Carlos Danger]

Like every year - thank you to the guys posting on Iowa Wolves. This thread is really my entire source of information on the team other than occasionally peeking at the Basketball Reference stats:

I really was surprised we picked up his option for next season...

Iowa with a fairly epic 2nd half run and should cruise to victory here. Led by none other than Luka Garza, who really shouldn't play G-league ball anymore. I think he's mastered it by now, LOL.

Moore Jr. by the way bounced back nicely after the 0-10 start.

Can he be a salary filler in a trade this trade deadline? Honestly don’t know how the early rookie contracts work if there’s restrictions when they pick up there options.

He could have been filler either way before the trade deadline. Now he can be filler before next year's draft, too...

I missed most of the game, but I see Iowa Wolves were getting crushed tonight by 25 (though as I type they closed it a little). Moore is 2 for 12 now, and was a team worst 31 before Wolves went on a bit of run by Wheeler. Moore started 0 for 10 yesterday and just didn't look very good though he played well in second half. I am ready to move on from Moore and let somebody else take his spot if we need to open up a spot, though I get that we might be saving his contract for trade filler and won't really need to let him go until we need to bring in two guys as 15th spot is still open. Leonard Miller is looking good. Keels is playing fine too. Garza is out but he had a real nice game last night.

Miller is putting up stats these first couple games, but I question his defensive effectiveness if the team is giving up so many points. I haven't watched either of their games, but given his position, he carries a significant set of defensive responsibilities and it looks like we're just bleeding points.

I wouldn't put the team's poor performance last night on Miller. From what I watched Miller looked good on both sides and he even handled the ball well for a big man. Wendell Moore was just chucking shots so that's the number one reason the Wolves lost, but apart from Keels, Miller was playing with guys that are just filling out a G League roster and likely will never sniff the NBA. NBA experienced players like Garza, Nix, Vit and Tyrese Martin did not play even though they are technically on the roster.
