No doubt he has missed rotations. The team as a whole often looks confused on who's covering who. There's still not a lot of defensive continuity here.

I also agree that there aren't enough guys creating their own shots. When KAT goes out, Mikal has to be the next guy up on shot generation beyond Brunson. OG stepped up, but we know he's not the best off the dribble creator.

So why haven't be brought up TJ? We need the offense/bucket getter and we need someone to take time off the wings.

Yeah was starting to notice this myself

Comment that "Kat don't box out". Might be true, but he second in rebounding in the league? No?

Hopefully KAT is ok. Makes me wonder if the wolves medical staff knew something about this summer 2024 and that’s how we were able to steal KAT away from them.

I’m guessing it’s someone close to him. Rough either way.

Why not move the guys that’s scared, to the bench. Give my man deuce, who ain’t scared of nothing, to the starting lineup. He’s the best 2 guard on the team.

Creates a size imbalance. I think Mitch would have to start in order for a Deuce promotion to make sense. And that's not counting the time it would take to get those guys synchronized. Definitely an option to look at in the post season.

Judging by how Hart was playing after a rough start, I’m guessing that stamina has something to do with the drop in production. Bridges drives in transition, but not enough in half court. I’m guessing both of them might benefit from having Mitch at center. Mitch in the second unit, with Hart or Bridges, might balance things out nicely.

Its well known Josh has knee issues.
Mikal as said gets there in transition or via cuts. He does not penetrate off dribble in the paint.

Tough to swallow but Dennis Rodman had a higher 3pt%

we give Mitch grief for his FT% -- something important if you're down low banging

Josh needs to own up and fix this -- he's a wing

edit: this was meant as reply to post about JHart's 3pt%. not sure how i flubbed that. My post accuracy is down to 22.5%
