I agree, except for Okogie. I actually think he's had a terrible game. Teague too in the sense he is easing back in as a "role" player that happened to carry us for about a 5 minute stint.

Okogie can't buy a bucket, but I think he's had a positive impact overall. He's made some gritty plays on defense and is tied for the team lead in rebounding tonight. Guys that play hard will usually find a way to do something that helps the team.

Okogie has not been good.

Hes been uber active. Hes just useless scoring the ball.

I see he DOES have 10 boards

Really disappointing to see how he's been gradually regressing the last few games. He has zero confidence in his 3-point shot. He better watch his back, as Culver may end up eating into his playing time once Teague is back full time.

I was going to say the same thing. He's been very Savy tonight hopefully the game is slowing down for him.

Okogie's been Minnesota's best perimeter defender all season. I think his playing time is safe.

I'd worry more about Napier's minutes.

Jeffrey. Demarco. Teague.

Minnesota's the only team in the NBA with two players averaging 25 points or more. Saw that earlier today and it'll remain true for at least another day.

Why is Wiggins still in the game? Do they want to end his hot streak with an injury?

Assuming Minnesota holds on to this one, this will be maybe their best win of the season. Plenty of guys involved here tonight. Max contract guys did their job. Role players chipped in. Wiped the floor with a team most assumed would be in the playoff mix with both of their All-Stars active.
