And because he can't stay in front of anybody, you should get a lot of easy baskets taking him to the tin, or drawing the extra defender and then dishing. I love exploiting one-dimensional players.

Well, what would your expert game-plan be as a coach against Andrew Wiggins? Just roll out a basketball and say play ball? Because that is basically what opponents have been doing to the Wolves for six years and it very clearly wasn't working.

We're not even 10 games into the D'Angelo Russell era. Perhaps instead of making "matador" comments or fake game-planning against the starting point guard we might discuss the game that the Wolves actually won tonight or how Minnesota can upgrade this roster even more.

A step further, I'd wager everything in my possession that the majority of Wolves fans feel a lot better about this current nucleus than perhaps anything they've had in the last decade. That's a solid start. Gersson Rosas is responsible for surrounding them with the compatible pieces to make it a winner. And as far as I can see, he's made some pretty solid strides in terms of roster construction, but there's obviously much left to do.

Q12543 wrote:Reid in the plus column again tonight. That's 8 out of 11 games starting he's been a plus. One other time he was a zero and the other two games barely negative. He's got some pretty quick hands too, as he gets a fair amount of blocks and steals for a guy who is generally pretty much nailed to the ground.
