so when he's had good games (and the majority of his games this year have been consistent in both wins and losses, January has definitely been a down month) and they win it's ignored, but now they're winning more consistently with him still in the starting lineup and him playing significantly better D. Yet you say he should be relegated to 6th man? he has missed i believe 1 game out of this stretch in which they've gone 6-2. he makes the game easier for wiggins and KAT just by being there as an offensive/3 point threat even when he doesn't get many shots. wiggins often plays better at the 2 than he does at the 3 (depending on the matchup), but more so defensively. offensively, zach is still more dangerous at the 2 than andrew is while his defense is lacking at the position although improving. they need to continue starting and growing together, this team will only go as far as they and KAT develop together. The biggest reason that they're starting to win is that they are getting much better bench production from bazz and tyus recently when he's been allowed to play. bjelica is a useless POS. They are also closing out all these close games together. Until this recent stretch, they were 0-10 in games decided by 4 points or less. they have to keep starting together; it's not an accident that they blew up after the ASB last year when zach was permanently switched to the SG role.

His defense is hardly anything great and if we're talking about more than just January it isn't all that great. he's inconsistent on that end at best, like much of the team.


Wiggins is much better at both ends when at the 2 and it's not even an argument that he's better offensively at the 2. I don't know what you're watching, but Wiggins at the 2 allows him to post up when he's got smaller guards, he's able to drive past and finish more often on 2 guards than 3, and overall he just has an easier time of attacking.

Wolves have an awful bench, particularly for scoring, Lavine could help aid that. I don't view him anywhere close to a center piece that Wiggins/Towns can be for the team and Wolves probably see it the same way. If Wiggins is a better 2 than 3 then they should let him grow in his more comfortable position.
