With Bolmaro getting the backup PG minutes last game instead of JMac, we may be talking a lot more about him in the coming weeks. Let's see if he comes off the bench again tonight.

KAT's comment about him postgame in which he said he could become this team's Shaun Livingston was interesting to me. Livingston was a nightmare on defense for a lot of PGs with his length, and I see some of his defensive game in our rookie. Let's hope Bolmaro develops a better 3-point shot than Shaun though.

One thing Livingston had was a very reliable mid-range turnaround jumper he'd use over smaller players as his go to move if they needed him to create a bucket. So while he couldn't shoot that well, he could get you a bucket in a pinch if necessary. I'm not sure the same can be said for Leo yet.

I agree his defense is good, but if he truly wants to establish himself as a good rotation player he has to do more than defend and avoid mistakes on offense. I'm not convinced yet, but he is certainly worth a try considering the disappointing regression of Jordan McLaughlin.

I wonder which player/coach has Leo's ear right now? Hopefully the right one that tells him to shoot when he is wide open, and keep shooting no matter what. Leo could be the perfect compliment to DLO. His growth is going to be important for the Wolves going forward. The team needs to grow internally as much as possible as they are not a free agent destination and won't be anytime soon.
