Now Bev, Beas, Prince, Vando, and Naz.

Beverly is a great fit for this team. His toughness is something we sorely need.

Bounce back season coming for Taurean Prince. He's moving around well. I liked that trade when it was released.

Not sure we'll see it much, but the Bev, Beas, Prince, Vando, and Naz lineup doesn't have enough creators in it. Beverley needs another ball handler out there with him. Pre-season though....

We'll see. He's measured out poorly in the defensive metrics every year except his rookie year. Has he really been dinged up that long?

I really like Okogie....as a backup 3.


I need him to just be minimally effective as a shooter and scorer. I think if he doesn't turn it around "be somewhat effective" he'll be overseas after his stint here. I hope he does, but the odds seem very low.

You can definitely see some rust and incorporating new players through just one quarter of play. I liked what I saw, though. Minnesota got some good looks offensively. Defensive intensity was improved. Guys were flying around on rotations. Rebounding the basketball remains a concern.

Agree. So sad though that he went from a promising college shooter to one of the worst shooters in the NBA. Not sure what he did differently this offseason that will change that trajectory.

D-Lo's a very gifted passer. Love when he drops dimes like that.

KAT took a knee to the midsection. Looked like a stinger but he'll be alright.
