He’s just so much older than everyone in college. I understand why he fell to an extent but great start from here at SL
I'll never understand why age is such a big deal if you are already really good and developed physically. He's one of the best two-way players in college basketball with an NBA body, but oh my god he's too old! Why does that suddenly make you a middling prospect??

What is wrong with Miller's feet when he shoots? So ugly.

Miller looks terrible!!

Edwards appears to have Rudy’s hands with out Rudy’s talent. But very small sample.

Shocking to me that it still isn't fixed after 2+ years as a full-time professional. What is the G-League for if not to iron out these rough spots with young guys???

I agree with you. However I know there was a study done on how old prospects do in the NBA and the results have been really bad for old prospects lately. Jamie Jacques is a rare exception from last year

Minott doing a great job staying in front of guys today. One bad play by him when he dribbled into trafffic. Still no sign of a reliable shot.

Agree with you, and as a guy who is not a big Minott fan think he is less out of control on his drives. Now he can’t hit a jumper but I’ll take his first half.

It’s actually kind of cool that the wolves SL team is a very solid roster because they have to play roles and it’s easier to see how they would fit in a team concept.

I know we always say this with guys in their 2nd or 3rd year, but.....Minott legit looks bigger to me.
