Lakers at Wolves GDT

[FNG]

I didn't hear Jaden's comments, but I had the same concern when I heard Mike's.

Jaden clearly doesn’t agree with Finchy’s assessment of his defense. What did Mike say?

Mike sounded frustrated with the lack of communication around minutes and roles...quiet frustration, but still frustration.

Thanks. I’ll look for the video.

Lakers have 4 players in double figures so far tonight; the Wolves have 2. Someone other than Randle and Jaden needs to step up in the scoring column.

Exactly. Curry has no trouble finishing inside even though he’s no taller than Dilly and less athletic. There’s a long list of similarly small PGs through NBA history who have finished well at the rim. It’s a learned skill that requires substantial consistent playing time at the NBA level to develop.

I think Curry is an inch taller but sure.

Yep, Curry measured one inch taller without shoes in the combine. No material difference there. Mike Conley measured 2 inches shorter than Dilly. Chris Paul measured an 1.25 inches shorter than Dilly. There’s not debating that PGs with length very similar to Dilly’s have proven to be great, not just good, PGs. And all of them could finish effectively in the paint. Many of them fell well short of Dilly’s 42” vertical and some weren’t as quick with the ball. So it’s just skill development though repetition. It’s clear he has a strong competitive drive to go with his considerable talent. Now it’s all about opportunity.

Tonight he’s not shooting well. But his passing has been very good and his protecting the ball. I want to see him play 25 minutes a game for a two-week stretch to give him a chance to develop and get a better sense of him. Finch probably won’t do that. I’m beginning to lose patience with Finch.

When I watch Curry layup it's very hard to tell he's about to shoot it, versus Dillys is telegraphed. Curry doesn't tend to jump either in general, just a quicker shot that the defense isn't ready for.

Dane shares it in his last podcast with Kyle. Don’t know the timestamp

C'mon Randle. Missed a wide open Conley and then gets stripped in the post. Easy bucket the other way. I know he's cookin' but he has to make that pass and not hold the ball.

This is not a fun team to watch

This is fucking pathetic

Well at least we have our own 1st round pick next draft. Although Utah has rights to swap.

8 total rebounds from Rudy, Jaden and Randle
