I just don't get it Okogie hasn't deserved minutes at all let alone starting minutes. It just hurts Beasley, Towns and Edwards also having 2 guys on court who struggle to score. With Rubio on the court he at least can put pressure on the defense so I get that a little bit.

Have the Wolves +3 tonight and I love it

Good luck

Saunders is either a babysitter and taking orders, or he is flat out stupid.

This is one of those situations where the answer is yes. It's both.

Yeah, I can get Okogie as a token starter for defense when it's DLO, Beasley, Edwards, and KAT. I don't get it when Rubio is in the game too.

Three of Minnesota's five starters tonight can't put the ball in the hoop. I just don't understand what this team is trying to accomplish right now.

It is so embarrassing.

I guess then we have to fall back on that he is Rosas' bullet shield.
