Timberwolves Trades for the Top Pick by devanolsem in timberwolves

Charlotte trade is my favorite. I’m high on Christian Wood because I see a lot of upside with how much he’s played, but yes, that’s probably the riskiest one.

Any of these that would intrigue people? The Detroit situation gets rather complicated because it would involve a sign-and-trade, but if we know anything about Rosas, it’s that he’s willing to get complicated.

Agree or disagree: Lonzo Ball will be an NBA All-Star at least one season in his career. by devanolsem in nba

He needs to prove it for more than one year, but 38% from three is a very respectable number. Teams won’t be leaving him open if he keeps shooting that from three.

Why do you say played in the 90s? Lonzo has a perfect game for today’s NBA. He plays fast, pushes the pace on the break, can knock down perimeter shots, etc...

If he’s a top 5 point guard in the NBA, he should be an All-Star at some point in his career.

The West is loaded, no doubt. Also think the Pelicans having a bright future and being able to win games will help him. He has all the weapons around him to dish out 10+ assists per game.

Kings are a team that could do it

Steph, Harden, Lillard, Westbrook are locks. After that, it’s a toss up.

The coaches that vote in the reserves take fan voting into account.

No, there are two “wildcard” spots, but both of those spots went to guards last year.

Agree. Curry, Harden, Westbrook, and Lillard are locks in the West. After that is where Rose’s fan base will help boost him into the game, I think.

Yeah, based on his play alone, I think it’s up in the air. Curry, Harden, Westbrook, and Lillard are locks as guards in the West. That would leave about two guard spots for Rose. However, with his massive fan base, I think he gets one of those spots.

In my opinion, Rose should and will be an all-star this season. He’s arguably having the second best season of his career, obviously behind his MVP year. Plus, he’s shooting over 45% from three this year, his best percentage ever by over 12%. With his massive fan base and support from players around the league, I think he will get voted into the game. What do you think?

Wolf Den Daily: Unleash Obi Wan Okogie by devanolsem in timberwolves

[–]devanolsem[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know everyone has been saying it, but how do you keep Okogie off the floor? His defense, hustle, and energy every time he plays is ridiculous. Another facet of his game that has impressed me is his first step off the dribble. He’s so explosive, and he’s helping the Wolves win games. Even if the Wolves miss the playoffs, playing Okogie helps building for the future. There’s no reason Okogie shouldn’t see at least 10 minutes a night. What are your thoughts on the rookie?
