Training camp thread.

Post by Monster »

Well this is some legitimately interesting news.

At day one of training camp, the Wolves ran defensive drills that "switched everything."

If you watched the Wolves last year -- or Thibs-led teams ever -- you would know this is a departure from the norm.

Thibs trying something different? Gotta be fake news!

Any reports on who was in the starting lineup with KAT, Taj, Wig and Teague? Or did Thibs just play 4 assuming Jimmy is sure to come back soon?

They ran a lot of end-of-game drills, too.

So a lot of 1-on-5 sets.

But they were all to get difficult contested 3's right? Progress?

Jimmy is gone so they were probably Wiggins favored contested mid-range jumpers.

Lovin' Tolliver on this squad. That is a very high floor in terms of a vet signing.

I'd assume the Wolves are going to end up taking back more players than they send out in a Butler deal or I would think Darius Johnson Odom would have had a small chance of making the roster. Sure he played with Jimmy in Marquette but he has done some pretty good things over in Europe especially the last 2 years where he was VERY efficient and took plenty of 3'd and hit 40% of them. He is a small for a SG but can handle the ball and has a rep of playing with plenty of edge and playing hard all the time.

Jonathon Stark is a guy that showed some moderatly interesting play for the Wolves in summer league so would assume gets sent down to Iowa as an affiliate player.

This one is for lip.

I hope the wolves staff took the time to read this in order to implement some changes.
