Unfortunately, Q, neither Newton or Pullin are making a case for Freeman's 2way...
Not sure either one looks as good as Happy Wendell Moore .
For those who are calling for Joan to get some minutes behind Rudy, tonight makes it clear he's not close to being ready. He may not even be ready for the pace of G League games. And just to clarify, I'm not down on Joan long term.
That’s what I see also. You see the flashes but he is not an nba rotation guy at the moment. Rocco has some really nice touch also on offense, just the other parts of his game have a ways to go.
Overall I’m happy both are in the wolves organization.

Neemias Queta, the starting Center for the 15-10 Celtics and emerging defensive stalwart, played 80 games across three seasons in the G-League before finally breaking through with a more regular bench role with the Celtics last season. It can indeed take a lot of time and patience with raw prospects.
Both Rocco and Joan need to enroll in Verticality 101. They consistently swipe down when all that's necessary is to wall up and stay vertical. Rocco especially, who has the highest standing reach in the NBA with the exception of Rudy, Edey, and Wemby. There is no reason to lower the arm!

. I'm going to really appreciate watching Rudy later.
