Who do you think right now is the Wolves second best player? Culver is shooting 50/40/70 the last 8 games while playing stellar defense.

Culver needs to do it over a longer timeframe. He definitely came down to earth last night, as I believe Saunders went with Okogie late in the game with Culver on the bench (not that it would have made much of a difference either way). Let's hope he bounces back in the next game, as he has been one of the few bright spots of late.

I voted Wiggins. That is not to say I like Wiggins just feel we lose the most when Wiggins 23/5/3 isn't playing. The problem is Wiggins is not good enough/ consistent enough to be a legit 2nd option. So even though I think Wiggins is the wolves 2nd best player I would be more likely to trade Wiggins than Culver or Cov. Just because Wiggins is not a good enough 2nd option.

With Culver I've liked what I've seen but he still hasn't been in the role of the lead wing and go to guy down the stretch.

I say RoCo, which I know some would disagree with which is fine. I just think his combination of defense and 3-point shooting is in SUPER short supply on this team. There is literally no one else on the team that does both well and will share the court with KAT. Dieng is another one, but there is a law of the universe that disallows him and KAT ever sharing the court again forever and ever.....

Q - I agree that RoCo is probably the Wolves 2nd best player right now. Dieng has certainly put himself in the conversation with his play while KAT was out. I'd say that Culver is our most promising player. That's not based entirely on his recent play, but also on flashes he's shown all season. He's really impressed me with his handle, defense, ability to get to the hoop, and overall feel for the game. He's also much quicker than I thought coming out of college. His only flaw is perimeter shooting and it's a big one. But there's a lot to like.

Its a toss up between Roco or Wiggins. Sometimes Roco gives the team a chance to win with D. Sometimes Wiggins gives the team a chance to win with offense. Culver shouldn't even be starting but since we're tanking give him those development minutes.

KAT for me. I think he needs to be the second best player on a team to win. Bulter proved that already.

I'm in agreement with this entire take
