Start Belly over Wiggins when he gets back from injury

Post by Wolvesfan21 »

Wiggins is playing like straight trash. He's already signed long term and the Wolves could really use more minutes from a great 3P shooter.

Bjelly can't guard wings as well as Wiggins and God only knows if he can even stay on the court long enough play more than 15 minutes per night. So tired of his never ending foot problems. It's like Pekovic all over again.

Besides, Thibs would't even consider it.

Your broader point is well taken. A lower usage 3 & D wing would probably be better for our offense than the higher usage, horribly inefficient version of Wiggins we have right now.

I have no doubt our D would suffer some and of course he can't stay healthy. But man it would be nice if we had a guy who could knock down open 3P's regularly.

Yup, indeed it would. Our spacing is so bad right now in the starting lineup.

I'd start Bazz and play him 40 minutes just so Wiggins can see what he does to the rest of the team when his shot isn't on.

We lost tonight behind the arc. 5 from 29.......Simply inexcusable for any NBA team, especially on home court.

I also blame Thibs once again for over playing the starters. Why are we paying Cole Aldrich 7 mil a season to sit on the bench? He is a serviceable NBA player and with Belly out should be getting minutes. Taj played all 12 minutes in the 3rd quarter. Dieng only played 18 minutes and I thought deserved more tonight.

On top of that we are becoming too predictable late in games. Jimmy Butler ISO play after ISO play while all the other players look like they don't know what to do.
