Iowa Wolves 2025-26

I watched a bit of this game and watched Rocco and Joan specifically. Rocco is really good about putting a body on the nearest player on defensive rebounding opportunities. Joan just turns and goes for the ball. He needs to learn to box out.
Rocco might just become a serviceable big man in the next 2 years! He made a few nice passes on backcuts as well.

Yeah, Rocco is very skilled offensively for being so young. He has more work to do on his body and defensive positioning.

Rocco back starting for the Iowa squad tonight.

It was a "not-ready-for-primetime" first stint for Rocco. But the potential is there. He should be a factor in a year or two.

I agree. He is very tall even by NBA standards and size does matter when it comes to Centers defensively. He can just stand in place with his arms upright and it's a hell of a wall to get the ball over and in the basket accurately. And offensively he's not a stiff, showing some decent touch and feel. I don't know if his ceiling is quality NBA backup Center or something much higher than that, but there is no doubt he'll be in a rotation some day.

Newton is going to get a 10-day contract at some point I have to believe. If you are one of the best G-League players not on a two-way, who else is out there for NBA teams to sign if they need an immediate band-aid due to injuries?
