Draft: I was not happy, even if only because the personality rumors were less than stellar.
Rookie: He didn't really show much, nor get much opportunity to show anything.
2nd Year: One of my favorite Wolves, all energy and effort even if generally a overall negative on the floor.
3rd Year: Missed a lot of game injured, thus showed little more beyond what we saw his 2nd season.
4th Year: I was onboard with not extending him as overall I just didn't see the upside. Now here we are over halfway through the season and he's making a strong case for being a core piece going forward, on both ends of the floor!
His bandwagon will pick up a few passengers and drop them just about as fast, over and over again. And the funniest thing is how my initial impression has turned around fully, he seems like a genuinely good guy and teammate! Of course if he resigns and the trend continues I'll lose all interest in him next season.
I don't know.....he's not going to shoot the 3 this well much longer (something like nearly 60% over the past few weeks). So when that shot isn't falling, then what? I guess the question is whether he slumps or can he at least maintain a solid consistency with that shot. But it's the 3-ball that has been HUGE for him. It won't continue at this clip.
Just a terrible half by Rubio and a sleepy one by Wiggins. I wouldn't be surprised if Tyus finishes this game if Rubio continues to struggle. We know Thibs has done it before.
Wig struggles to make an impact when other guys are scoring. The same goes for LaVine. And that's one of the issues with all our main wings - Shabazz, LaVine, and Wiggins. What can they do to help the team when not getting shots and scoring?

If only we could cross Wiggins talent with Bazz's drive and Dunn's size and athleticism with Jones PG smarts we'd be a contender I tells ya!! We have almost everything we need, just not in the same bodies.
