Rocco Era Around the Corner

[60WinTim]

These practices and Summer League games are really big for Rocco. TC commented it is unknown whether Rocco will be brought in on a 2-way or go back to play another season back home. A good performance could be the difference between us seeing some Rocco minutes, or having to wait a year. I'll point out that the Wolves have one open 2-way spot (Jesse has one and Newton has a QO on the 2nd).

I really hope he doesn't go home. I watched his highlights in the youtube video Lip sent out, and nobody was playing any defense...he was wide open for dunks all the time! I don't know that he can develop any offensive game there that would translate to the NBA. I know there isn't much defense in the G League either, but more than I saw on those videos!

The positive if he stays there is that he will play actual minutes and not take up a roster spot. The bad news is that you have very little control about how he is developed. Wherever he goes I just want him to be playing actual competitive basketball. It's not a super competitive league but it's not the worst place either. If I remember right his parents were both Olympic athletes and he used to be a swimmer so it seems like he should get his conditioning figured out if it's possible. Maybe he can work out with Garza.
