Darren Wolfson: The Wizards are not interested in (D'Angelo) Russell. Yes, the Wizards are looking for a lead guard, and I am told no interest in D'Angelo Russell. 5 days ago - via Spotify

I've given up on the idea of Daniels, but I kind of like the point guards that might be available at 19 (Chandler and TyTy) and 40-50 (Nembhard), and the Wolves have worked out Chandler and Nembhard already. Chandler is so quick and has such a high BB IQ (he's only 19 and he has a deep bag of finishing tricks), he's fearless at attacking the rim, had 2.2 steals a game, very good passer, tight handles, excellent as an on-ball defender, and shot over 40% from 3s in tournament season (38.3% for season, he shot 3s at over 50% clip in high school, though he struggled from the free throw line in his one year of college, he was a good free throw shooter in high school and in U19 play and Barnes says he hits 95% in practice, so I am not worried about his free throw shooting as his shooting mechanics are solid. His height knocks him way down as he is 5"11.5 without shoes but that is same height as CP3, Conley and Kemba were as prospects, and he is longer than CP3 and Kemba with a wingspan of 6'5.25 and had highest vertical at combine (41 inches) so he can elevate well when attacking the rim. I'd love him running the point feeding KAT, Ant, Hartenstein (Nurkic or Drummond) and McDaniels in a fast paced offense. He can also play off the ball and creates separation on his outside shot with some nice hesi moves and because he is a constant threat to break towards the rim with his first quick step, defenders can't play him too tight. I love Chandler's upside and hope he's our pick but I could live with a good three and D prospect too like Eason or Jalen Williams and hopefully then we grab Nembhard in round 2, who is a very heady point guard that is a taller version of Tyus Jones or Monte Morris.

I like Chandler quite a bit he changes gears so well and can make shots from all sorts of angles, strong use of the glass on drives. His shooting is top notch and just seems easy. What's most impressive to me is how under control he is even at full speed. If we land Chandler I would want to move on from DLO!

Yeah, that would be the plan. The Wolves need to start planning for a DLO replacement and I think Chandler is a near perfect fit. The naysayers say he is too short to be a starting NBA point guard, but I think he has all the tools to succeed-unbelievable quickness, high basketball IQ, good court vision, 6'5.25 wing span a 41 inch vertical, good outside shooting and disruptive defense. He really carried Tennessee on his back to become SEC champions. I would love to pair Chandler and Ant as that might be the quickest guard pairing in recent memory, lots of steals, fast break dunks and high energy.

I think the naysayers are right about that though. Everything you just described is Tyus Jones, which is fine if we're replacing J-Mac, but if the goal is to eventually roll with two PG's not taller than 6', don't be surprised when Ant becomes a foul magnet having to cover for them.

We may not even need a PG in crunch time (eventually). It could be Ant bringing the ball up. Or Nowell. Or a versatile PF we end up getting. Who knows?

I view the pure Center and pure PG roles as necessary to field a complete squad for an 82-game season and playoff run, but not mandatory during crunch time. Ideally, we can find a combination of three tough-minded defenders and shooters that can surround KAT and Ant in the waning minutes of close games.

The only similarities with Tyus are they are both about the same size, have good court vision and passing skills. He's much more athletic than Tyus Jones. His vertical is 9 inches higher. His speed and quickness are much better. He's a much more aggressive player on both offensive and defensive, with his attacking style. Sure, he's short (but otherwise, the Wolves would have no chance to draft him at 19), but height isn't everything, his wingspan (6'5.25) is longer than several stars including CP3, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Trae Young, Fred VanVleet, Darius Garland, Desmond Bane, Jalen Brunson and his vertical at 41.5 is also higher than most point guards, and he has elite quickness.

That's a good point Q.

One other physical thing going against Chandler is being just 172 lbs. I like him I'm not sure how much it I do like him Is his 3 point shooting real? That FT shooting is a concern. Let's be honest if McLaughlin (who has similar measurements) shot the 3 as well as he did in college we would be legitimately considering him as possible complimentary starter and it wouldn't be ridiculous. I'm cool with taking a guy that's undersized if he legitimately seems like a good player.

Darren Wolfson: The Wizards are not interested in (D'Angelo) Russell. Yes, the Wizards are looking for a lead guard, and I am told no interest in D'Angelo Russell. 5 days ago - via Spotify

I've given up on the idea of Daniels, but I kind of like the point guards that might be available at 19 (Chandler and TyTy) and 40-50 (Nembhard), and the Wolves have worked out Chandler and Nembhard already. Chandler is so quick and has such a high BB IQ (he's only 19 and he has a deep bag of finishing tricks), he's fearless at attacking the rim, had 2.2 steals a game, very good passer, tight handles, excellent as an on-ball defender, and shot over 40% from 3s in tournament season (38.3% for season, he shot 3s at over 50% clip in high school, though he struggled from the free throw line in his one year of college, he was a good free throw shooter in high school and in U19 play and Barnes says he hits 95% in practice, so I am not worried about his free throw shooting as his shooting mechanics are solid. His height knocks him way down as he is 5"11.5 without shoes but that is same height as CP3, Conley and Kemba were as prospects, and he is longer than CP3 and Kemba with a wingspan of 6'5.25 and had highest vertical at combine (41 inches) so he can elevate well when attacking the rim. I'd love him running the point feeding KAT, Ant, Hartenstein (Nurkic or Drummond) and McDaniels in a fast paced offense. He can also play off the ball and creates separation on his outside shot with some nice hesi moves and because he is a constant threat to break towards the rim with his first quick step, defenders can't play him too tight. I love Chandler's upside and hope he's our pick but I could live with a good three and D prospect too like Eason or Jalen Williams and hopefully then we grab Nembhard in round 2, who is a very heady point guard that is a taller version of Tyus Jones or Monte Morris.

I like Chandler quite a bit he changes gears so well and can make shots from all sorts of angles, strong use of the glass on drives. His shooting is top notch and just seems easy. What's most impressive to me is how under control he is even at full speed. If we land Chandler I would want to move on from DLO!

Yeah, that would be the plan. The Wolves need to start planning for a DLO replacement and I think Chandler is a near perfect fit. The naysayers say he is too short to be a starting NBA point guard, but I think he has all the tools to succeed-unbelievable quickness, high basketball IQ, good court vision, 6'5.25 wing span a 41 inch vertical, good outside shooting and disruptive defense. He really carried Tennessee on his back to become SEC champions. I would love to pair Chandler and Ant as that might be the quickest guard pairing in recent memory, lots of steals, fast break dunks and high energy.

I think the naysayers are right about that though. Everything you just described is Tyus Jones, which is fine if we're replacing J-Mac, but if the goal is to eventually roll with two PG's not taller than 6', don't be surprised when Ant becomes a foul magnet having to cover for them.
