They mention Pekovic, but funny they never talk about what he's up to now.

I hope so. I'm getting Kuminga vibes at the moment, can look like an absolute dynamo at times but isn't a good enough defender and doesn't really fit into what the team is trying to do.

Still have some hope for him

TJ is an NBA player that can bring a competitive advantage to about half of our matchups.

There's a lot of S-Talking on this board about his defense....and he's not Jaden...but he's also not Bones or Naz

Young guys comments:

Clark - Did a nice job limiting Bane when he was on him. Also showed off his offensive limitations.

Phillips - Not an NBA player.

Beringer - Sobering performance from him. Looked silly at times tumbling, fumbling, and jumping about without a plan. Still made some disruptive plays, but was mostly a negative while on the floor.

Shannon - That's the Shannon we all loved before the regular season. Wow! Might be an arrow Finchie reaches for in his quiver if he needs a change-of-pace guy to throw in there in the playoffs if the offense gets stagnant. Tough to see him getting minutes otherwise.

This game reminds me of game 1 against Portland, Shannon was so good in that game and I think a lot of us may have forgotten what that looked like.

Maybe it was really just the injury and getting his confidence back, time will tell

I know I’ve made this comp and so have others but TSJ is Shabazz. He did very well tonight with the ball in his hand and trying to work off of that. When he is the number 1 scoring option he can be a productive player. The issue is just like Shabazz he isn’t good enough to be the number 1 guy and from a wolves perspective he is probably the number 5 guy (Ant, Jaden, Randle, Naz, Bones) in give him the ball and go score a bucket on the team. The issue with TSJ is when he if not in his optional position as a player he struggles. (Or at least he has during his career). It’s such an interesting spot because I do think he has a skill set that is a positive, but his positive is not as good as others in that same spot so he becomes a negative
