He's really look good so far. Exciting to see the hustle and ability from a Wolves rookie.

You just look for shit to target Thibs about it seems lol. It was a great fun game to watch. Enjoy it!
Agree on enjoying it. Thought the point on lineup combination was pretty legitimate, sorry you disagree.
I'm just saying it was only the first game. No doubt there will be situations where it makes more sense to put Covington at the 4. It could be a really fun lineup to watch IMO.

Yeah, awesome to see these two guys specifically close out the game with big plays on both sides. They have not been very good at this in the past on their own...
DE-FENSE!
It's their team now. Like you mentioned JvG saying the cuts and low posting should not be exception but the rule with Wig.

Thibs said in the post game press they will look to play Taj at the 5
That's refreshing to hear, I like it personally. He's not a 4 in this league anymore, his best role is a backup 5. I'd say most night Gorgui should be out of the lineup. I still think Tolliver could get 10-12 minutes because of his ability to stretch and spread the floor.
What a great defender (and a positive team guy) to have at the 3! He could definitely be effective at times at the 4, but there's a lot of mouths to feed there right now and not much for quality depth at the 3, so this might be better down the road.
