GDT: Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Lakers (Preseason)
Re: GDT: Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Lakers (Preseason)
I can see Naz playing minutes at the 4 next to Gobert.

One dilemma for Finch is how the hell can he keep Kyle Anderson off the floor in crunch time during the regular season? He can defend 1-5 if he has to and then help facilitate things on offense.

He has scored 4 preseason pts and he has been fantastic

Finch has also been putting rivers in the game for late quarter defensive possessions I see

We know Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert will be out there at the end of games. We know Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell will be too barring unforeseen circumstances. If Kyle Anderson was going to get those end of game minutes they'd probably come at the expense of Jaden McDaniels, which would deliberately inhibit his individual growth. Anderson is solid, but I don't think you bump any of those five to get him out there.

The Lakers have no shooters. You don't have to respect basically anybody they have from behind the arc. Just pack the paint and rebound.

LOL,
I could see him bumping Gobert in certain scenarios.

I don't see any situation where I'm pulling a generational defender and future Hall-of-Famer for Kyle Anderson. That just doesn't seem like a move that makes my lineup better. I can also imagine the negative attention something like that would bring and I want no part of it.
