Covington's game is uber limited. We just have to live with it for now.

There is something going on between kat and teague. They have yet to slap hands or talk on the court.

The move makes sense if we're focused on feeding Jarrett Culver opportunities and catering completely to Andrew Wiggins' needs, but I don't think the move makes the on-court product better.

Jeff Teague gets an A-plus teammate grade, though. He reportedly was very open and receptive to the role change. Say what you want about the guy, but he's steadily been a positive in the locker room.

Also... enjoy the bench, Shabazz Napier. His minutes are essentially gone now.

I see this as a way to maximize the roster not just a developmental phase. Idk who is available for this game but I'm guessing the bench will comprise of Dieng or some young big and the G-league kids. It makes a lot of sense to me to put a vet ball handler with those guys. Meanwhile Culver is a rookie that gets to play with the starters Wiggins gets to do his thing and Culver plays with the best shooters and players on the roster. I'm not sure this is a permanent thing especially if Napier ever gets healthy. We haven't seen the last of him especially since It seems likely there will be more injuries.

Also I agree with the people that said this was a gutsy move even if temporary. I'll also agree Teague is a great dude. I wouldn't be surprised if Teague even brought up the idea of coming off the bench himself. Not saying he was the driving force from the move but I wouldn't be surprised if it had crossed his mind.

I doubt it.

Bates-Diop is on a fast track to take Graham's minutes if he can keep making open threes.

Bates-Diop is listed at 6'8 but on TV he looks like he could be 6'10 on a good day. Man, he is long.

Wiggs has to be the most hated guy by the refs.

3rd game in a row hes visibly upset about a call.

Yeah, I thought Wiggins got hit on the wrist on that three and then Teague got hosed on back to back plays to end the half.

Refs hate the wolves.
