Kat is way too good offensively, even when others players are trying hard to score the most points taking a bunch of shots can't score more than Kat cause kat efficiency is way superior
I am really looking forward to this year. I think we are 2nd round bound, barring any major injuries.
KAT needs to limit his driving, as he causes so much chaos and foul trouble and focus on his 3-point game.
Dlo on the other hand, I don’t care for him shooting beyond 20ft. Not only is he very crafty in the paint, he hurts our tempo when he chucks up 3s and long mid-rangers.
7:10 this is what i’ve been saying for 2-years about Anthony Edwards, he needs to stop destroying the tempo of the offense by chucking up pointless 3’s.
This iso style of play IS acceptable if the game is down to the wire and a shot is to be made, but NOT in the middle of a battle where the Wolves are trying to control their pace and flow of the offense.
If little jmac ever established a decent 3, he'd basically be tyus jones
KAT still does that thing he does, decides that he wants to drive to the basket when he gets it on top of the key and goes wild as soon as he catches the ball. He plays way out of control which is why he gets into so much foul trouble. I feel like he thinks he's Giannis and can drive free to the basket. KAT just isn't nimble enough and quick enough with his euro/side steps to do that.
After watching just a few pre-season games you can tell Rudy Gobert is going to be the foundation of our team. We've never had a guy quite like him. He does all the really hard, important stuff that goes unnoticed but leads to winning.
It's easier to find guys to make up KAT or ANTs points if they sit out a game, but no one on the team is replacing what Gobert does whe he sits out a game.
ANT & KAT are the glitter, Gobert is the glue.
Why is your video quality sooooooo bad?!! It's getting too hard to watch. Do love your perspective. Go Wolves!
The truth, as shocking as it may sound is that Maclaughlin is better than Dlo, way better chemistry with the team, but even a more shocking truth is that the Wolves are not getting significantly better as long as Dlo is our starting PG.
Slow start big finish. The wolves will be contenders.
