He needs to bulk up and man up in the post, but he'll look better defensively once Rubio and Wiggins are in the backcourt.

He may need to bulk up, but his passing is a nice surprise and he doesn't need to gain too much weight.
You warming up to Wiggins now?

Wiggins is performing more to the expectations I had of him. All I asked for was 13 ppg on 43% shooting. Not including tonight he's at 14.5 ppg on 42% shooting. Now the next test is to see his rapport with Rubio and that should be seamless.

Here's the interesting thing imo..Wiggins looks best as a 2 guard..K-Mart is coming back soon and Lavine was drafted to be that.
Keep Wiggins at the 2, he's averaged 20ppg on 48% as the starting guard, move Martin and LaVine if it means keeping Wiggins playing there. He is a matchup nightmare there, too tall for most 2s to contest his shots and way too athletic to get around/shoot over.
He's not going to be a franchise player at the 3, but he could definitely be one at the 2.

That's where I'm at as well. Keep him as the 2 and Bazz as the 3. You called it during the draft process he would be a problem as a 2.

That Wiggins/LeBron combo
Instead he got Shumpert & Smith
It just made a lot of sense to play him at the 2, it doesn't look like he has the frame to bulk up to SF weights, so staying around 195-205lbs & playing SG seems like such an advantage since he's 6'8".

Simple short term solution to this:
Play Martin at SG /Wiggins at SF til deadline. If nothing happens, choose between Muhammad or Martin for who you want to be the main bench producer. I love Bazz, but short term, either /or can come off the bench and I wouldn't care.
Long term solution: Shop Martin if you can and cut your losses with LaVine.
Realistically, he's not gonna give up on Zach, but each year, his expectations will drop more and more.
This year: "we believe Zach can be a destination player."
next year: "we believe Zach can be a great weapon off the bench."
year after that: "we believe Zach Lavine still has a place in the NBA where he can be productive."
year after that: "maybe a stint overseas will do him some good. I wish him well"
Flip would never do this, but if by some chance we miss out on Towns, the guy clearly should be Hezonja, because he's 6'8'' as well and can shoot. Winslow and Johnson are good, but I'm a little more apprehensive about them.
Damn Tre..you're treating Lavine like he's Austin Rivers.
I'd just hope he plays Martin off the bench as a 6th man but he probably wouldn't accept that on this team.
