Towns and Wiggins carried the load, but big kudos to our sophomores tonight. Bates-Diop and Okogie were great. The former of which needs an increased role. His time playing basketball in Iowa is over as far as I'm concerned.

Another game where Covington was an afterthought. We know he's streaky, but against tougher opponents we will need him to be much better.

Id say KBD has earned a spot on the team. If he keeps hitting those 3s and hustling on the other end he will be a real asset. Great Thibs pick.

Covington seals the team D in a lot of ways, but it still isnt enough to solidify him in that 3rd player spot. He needs to make shots.

When Wig was on the floor, the Wolves seemed to be in control of the game, when he went out we struggled.

So are we talking about corners now? I hope not, they tend to turn into circles when we do! :oops:

Towns shot 3-7 from three tonight and lowered his percentage for the season. That's the kind of shooting dominance he's putting on this year. Move over, Steph Curry...

The +/- says it all.

Wiggs +26, the closest starter was cov with +10.

Eh, he was +18 at one point when he was 2-9 from the field. Wiggins was good, but let's not act like +/- is a great stat on its own. The fact that Covington was a +10 in this game should tell you all you need to know about it.

And Towns was only a +5 despite being the best player on the floor when he was out there.

It's a weird stat. That's what I'm really saying.

I am enjoying Wiggs coming out party. He's finally putting it all together (well except for the free throws..well maybe he can get that down next year). KBD looking like he belongs in the rotation. Speaking of KBD, the Spurs announcer thought he was KAT (a mistake I've made before with his long body and dreads).
