Wolves are next up to skyrocket to Contender status.

I think he could be the explosive guard type like and average 23/7/7 one day, his passing is damn good too.

The good thing about Lavine/Wiggins/KAT

Is that they all eat in different areas on the court.

They need Lavine to play the point. It's
Be best for that squad imo

He's already a good passer. Look at the feed at 1:45 in the vid of The OP

Lavine is not even an average passer

His court vision and feel for the point guard position is poor right now. I'm saying this after he's made some strides too. It would be good for him to replace Rubio but I don't think he's a point guard at all

He might not be a traditional point guard. But he's a point guard for sure.

Shhhhhh

Barring injuries this team gonna be a real problem with a couple of more pieces. Reminds me of when Durant and Russ were 1st starting out or even Shaq and Penny.

shaq and penny were winning right away man. 50 games in penny's rookie year.

3 years until contenders. About 5 until they are the best team in the West. And then they'll dethrone The Dubs in a clear passing of the torch series.

Been saying this since last year.


Called this. Lavine is gonna be a problem. Wiggins and Towns are already problems but will become bigger problems

They gotta let Zach run point tho



Their 3 best players are all under 22. This team is going to be terrifying. Just terrifying one day.

We gave ya'll THAT much hope last night

?

Nah I made a similar thread when they drafted Lavine

This team is gonna be scary. They been my West Coast squad since 2008 tho

Shaq was the #1 pick in 1992
Penny was the #3 pick in 1993

The Magic went from 21 wins the year before Shaq was there...to 41 wins in Shaq's 1st year....to 50 wins with Penny a year later.

They were a pretty talented team even without Penny (I'm not trying to downplay his impact though).
Friggin Nick Anderson was shooting 48%

Im just talking about young talent wise. Plus the west is much more stacked than the east was.

Lavine isn't a pg. Maybe he can develop into one in a few years but he ain't there yet. Ideally he's a starting 2 who can play backup PG mns. I don't think Rubio is the answer at PG if they're going to be a contender though as his shot is a fatal flaw that will kill them in a playoff series. But you can do some things with Lavine and Wiggins on the wing and KAT at the C spot. PG and the 4 are question marks though

lavine makes kemba walker look like gary payton

dude just needs to come off the bench... but it won't matter anyways. rubio HAS to go first. and their new coach is gonna set the tone. hope they give brooks a chance

i wasn't crediting penny with their immediate success, just that comparing dudes on a team that might win 30 games to that great young duo is a little off.
