Yeah, me too...that would be fun to watch. I didn't see the Arizona game, but Johnson's stats look great. I hope they have a long run in the tournament so posters on this board can see what a force he is on defense. I see him having an immediate impact, at least defensively, for some team next year.

28 points for Russell on 50% shooting. How did he look?

I don't know if it was due to big minutes, but he couldn't get past his man off the dribble without the defender grossly overcommitting in the last few minutes. Other than that he's just a really smart and unselfish basketball player. Most guys would force the issue for themselves even while being worn out and he just kept playing within the system and making the right plays. I'd prefer to go with a big, but I'd be fine with Russell as a consolation prize.

I clearly saw a different Ohio State/VCU game than you khans because outside of one poor play from Russell late and some double teams that he had to pass out of late in the game, he was a man amongst boys throughout that game.

@DarrenWolfson: Asked an #NBA scout who has seen Bjelica this year for a comparison. Paused, then said Markieff Morris, but a better rebounder. #twolves
Wouldn't that be nice

Bjelica is already 30 years old. I just don't see him as part of the Wolves future. I see him as a potential trade asset.

Pretty sure he's 26-years old. Am I missing something?

After the game yesterday, when asked who is the best player that has guarded him this season, D' Angelo Russell quickly responded "Nobody."
I love that kid more and more.

High confidence is good, but it's not a very truthful statement. He's been locked up a number of times this season.
