The talent is there for sure. Consistency is the only question now. At his age I wouldn't doubt him tho.

I am not sure bout him at the point breh. He seems more likea 2 BUT, hey--he wouldn't be the only UCLA guard converted after coming into the league.....


I think I am on @Malta hype train for them getting Kris Dunn. @We Ready @Tony_Bromo yall all in?


Towns, Bazz, Wiggins, Lavine to go forward

NO....why would the twins take Kris Dunn :what: They need a 2 guard....I think Hield is a top 5 shooter in the NBA right now. I would take him. He doesn't want the ball in his hands at all. He plays off the ball all the time.

LaVine
Hield
Wiggins
KAT
Dieng

or

Lavine
Hield
Wiggins
(FA PF)
KAT

That team would win 50 games.

Well breh it really depends, cause their young core can all thrive at two positions. Lavine at the 1 or 2, Wiggins and Bazz at the 2 or 3, and Towns at the 4 or 5. I would say lavine's development is highly telling of how they will go forward, That's why I said, Lavine develops into a 1 like "certain other UCLA guards".

But as of right now Lavine do look more like a 2,

What do you think should be done about Rubio then?

Lavine will learn but his explosivness and length/height can't be ignored...I'm playing him at the one instantly. LaVine is a better shooter now than Westbrook. He is only going to get better and playing with Hield will help SOOO much.



as for rubio

trade his non shooting ass :camby::camby::camby:nikka came in the league without a J and its been 6 years and its not here yet :camby::camby::camby: nikka got drafted strictly off a highlight tape fulled with passes from spain :camby: send him right back. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Ask Alexey Shved. Can't believe they took him over curry, jrue, teague, collinson :wtf: fukking stupid GM :camby:

I mean, the problems are still there as well. 30 seconds left and down 4 he took a 25 foot three point with plenty of time on the clock. I mean he was open...but he's not Curry and it was an air ball.

He also needs to learn to keep both feet behind the line. A lot of his jumpers tonight were literally one foot past the line. They went in, but that extra point is big, especially when you do it 3/4 times. He's still an idiot at playmaking and basic IQ shyt, but he's basically what Waiters wishes he was in terms of scoring ability.:russ:

He's fast as fukk too :ohlawd: dude can accelerate forever in the open floor. Insanely gifted athlete/finisher and has the ability to create his own shot (even if he gets kinda heat check-y and throws up some bad ones)

Other problem is he doesn't always know when to slow down and play with some pace but that's more of an experience thing. Not really a fan of him at point but his time spent learning how to handle the ball will do him well later on (even if he may never be able to lead an offense from a distribution point of view).. Patience with his development (particularly his decision making/vision out of pick-and-roll) will be really rewarding

Lavine has all the talent in the world and to be only 20 his ceiling his very high. He's been better then most people figured he would be his first two years and of course he will struggle at times because of his youth and lack of experience but at the very least he will be 20 ppg scorer in the league in the next couple of years. With the way the game is now the Wolves can get away with him at point guard cause I think you let him grow with Wiggins and Towns and see what happens. All of them will improve as playmakers and passes and if they can find a 4 who can bang and a small forward who can hit the 3 and play good defense they will be a team to be reckoned with by the time all of them are about 25.

because he is the 2nd best player on the team.....Lavine>Wiggins.

I've always said he should start over rubio.

He didn't get mins at UCLA cuz he plays the same position as the coaches son.

Wiggins> towns

D agnelo wiggins backcourt = rings
