Re: Zach LaVine
Did Dunn come out after his? I just remember being surprised when he was not playing the 3rd game.

My recollection was he finished the game, but then experienced his symptoms later and didn't play after that. The only further news I've heard was he was sent to Mayo for testing in hopes that he could return to Vegas for Select practices this week. Unfortunately, no news on this front is bad news.

Dunn was supposed to be on the 25-man roster too, but I have seem the roster described in the last couple days as 24-man, so I wonder if he has been dropped. It's been almost 2 weeks since his concussion...if he's still having symptoms, this is not good news at all.
USA Practice was televised on NBA TV the other day.

Ya Dunn was removed because of his concussion
Re: Zach LaVine
Dunn played 33 minutes in the Raptors game so he certainly played a lot of the 2nd half.
From my experience you may not feel the effects of the concession other than what you would expect getting you head whacked (oh man my head hurts!) but a while later you feel quite miserable. For me it was a terrible headache and sick to my stomach. I don't know if I was ever dizzy but based on how terrible I felt that seems possible especially for someone else. I just laid down. Lol

He could also have listed all the injured Wolves PGs over the years. That's pretty soul crushing also. Oh sorry...

I don't know if I have ever seen Popovich look so happy.

We're loaded at the PF and C positions. Actually, we're overloaded at those two positions. We'll have to see what happens with KG and Pek and then we'll see how Thibs sorts things out.
The PG positions looks very solid and deep with Ricky, Dunn and Tyus.
The SF positions also looks very solid and deep with Wiggins starting, backed up by Bazz whom Thibs called "a prolific scorer" and Rush. Even Belly can play some SF.
SG is an interesting positions. Thibs clearly sees LaVine as our starting SG. But who will be backing him up? I've never seen Bazz as a good fit for the SG position on our team. If there is one thing a winning NBA team has to have, it's at least two good ball-handlers on the floor. Bazz doesn't fit that bill. It's also why I've never seen seen Wiggins as a good choice at SG. Unless we acquire a SG from outside, it looks like Dunn is our main backup SG. He has the length and strength to guard that position. He also a terrific ball-handler who can provide some scoring punch. At this point he can't stretch the floor like Zach, but I see him as a nice fit at SG alongside Tyus.
At PF, it's Gorgui backed up by Belly in my view. I see Aldrich backing up KAT at C. Then it's Jordan Hill as the 3rd guy at both positions, but I also think it's pretty fluid based on performance and matchups.

Re: Zach LaVine
LST, you're always complaining about Wiggys bad rebounding numbers, do you know what our team rebounding advantage or disadvantage was during the second half of the season?
