Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun break down the Timberwolves preseason opener and the introductory press conference for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and Keita Bates-Diop.
On this week’s episode, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun break down the Minnesota Timberwolves’ preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers as well as discussing the introductory press conference for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and Keita Bates-Diop.
— Donte DiVincenzo made his Timberwolves debut in style, making all four of his including three shots from deep. Would he be a good fit for the starting lineup if needed?
— Rob Dillingham led the team in total shits with 22, while scoring 21 points from all areas from the floor including some pretty floaters. Should Rob’s focus be more on playmaking or scoring this preseason?
— Josh Minnott led the Wolves in scoring against the Lakers with 22 points. He showed a lot more control of his already obvious athleticism. Will there be a role for him in the Wolves rotation?
— Nickeil Alexander-Walker played most of his minutes at point guard after Mike Conley went out. Would NAW be a good fit to start in place of Conley when the veteran needs a night off?
— Luka Garza showed off his scoring ability scoring 20 points along with nine rebounds. How comfortable are we with Garza getting minutes when one of the bigs is out?
— We listened to soundbites from Timberwolves President Tim Connelly discussing the trade with the New York Knicks as well as Julius Randle who showed love for Chris Finch who he also played for during his time with the New Orleans Pelicans.
— Can Joe Ingles be the replacement for Kyle Anderson and take over the role of “slo-mo” in Minnesota?
— We discussed the debut of Karl-Anthony Towns in a Knicks uniform and took a look at his history with a familiar face Tom Thibodeau
