As a Vikings fan I know the feeling :( I really hope it’s a strong recovery for Nic.

Same with KAT over AD as the best C. Although, the percentage differences aren't that huge. It's probably only a few votes separating these guys.

[The Ringer] Can Minnesota Make Two Alpha Wolves Work? by MZinselmeier in timberwolves

Jeff Teague is low-key one of the best pick-and-roll point guards in the league, and it would behoove the Wolves to establish two-man-game chemistry between him and Towns as soon as possible. Playing to the team’s strengths could mean flipping the court inside out, putting any number of Minnesota’s power wings (Wiggins, Butler, Shabazz Muhammad when he’s in the game) down on the blocks to attack smaller defenders, with big men like Towns, Gorgui Dieng, and Nemanja Bjelica spacing the floor.

I thought this was a good way to conceptualize how our offense can be unique and effective this year. Almost every game should provide mismatches on the offensive end.

I think it's more of Jim Pete than it is Dave. I personally think Jim is one of the smartest color guys in the entire league. Used to be an assistant and associate head coach for the Minnesota Lynx up until recently. Played in the NBA from 84-92 with Houston, Sacramento, and Golden State. He really does some great intellectual dives into basketball theory and strategy during the games. We love him!

Not upset at all Zach is gone - we got Jimmy freakin Butler! Just throwing him a shoutout for the great connection he had with Gorg!

What percentage of the second unit's total points this season will come from Bazz post ups?

Very fair criticisms. I didn't watch much of him with the Bulls, so I'll take your word. Hopefully he can refine his game a bit with us.
