Are these career numbers or an isolated part of a season? I want both these players on the Wolves.

I took player B btw but both seem like plus players. I wonder when one will be revealed as Dlo.

Valid question. These are their numbers from this season. Comparable minutes and games played to this point as well.
And yes, both of these players are impactful for sure.

I picked A because of the rebounding but it was close between the 2. Looking forward to seeing who I picked. Lol

I don't think Dejounte Murray is available... :-(

I see some guesses being made! However, I cannot confirm or deny just yet. I'd rather we vote based off the given data and see where we end up.
Player A and Player B are both very talented players that make the Timberwolves better in this exercise so there is no real right or wrong answer in my mind. I think it's close between the two. I was just curious to see what this board thought.

Like Monster, I picked player A because of the rebounding and secondarily because of slightly more steals per game. This team needs rebounding. Having said that, I like player B's 3-point shooting, which this team also needs.

That's a fair position to take, Lip. It really boils down to personal preference, I think. They're very close in overall impact.
