They righted the ship after another bad start. I think coming off the bench benefitted Conley.

I still don't like Randle. Even on nights when he puts up big numbers, the offense seems constipated when he's on the floor. He gets completely lost in team defense.


AGREE!!!!

With all of it?

Conley appears to be more effective coming off the bench and I don't like Randle.

I swear he just feeds off of adversity. Acts like a child agin. Gets fined again. “Oh no the whole world is against me. I’ll show them”. Has a monster game.

I also have to say that I hate Julius Randle more every time I watch him play. Every time a team goes on a run to cut into a Wolves lead, you can bet Randle is in the middle of it. Dumb decisions, dumb shots, dumb fouls.

Less will be more....just like the NAW/Conley trade.

I’m not convinced he’ll always be bad on defense.

The kid works his ass off in defense. He gets overwhelmed at times and his technique needs a ton of work (he looks like he has no coaching on that end), but he moves his feet really well and he’s very good at staying between his man and the basket.

I was super impressed with his effort vs Cleveland - even if the results were spotty.

He needs to put on a good 15 lbs and really learn technique and positioning. If he does that, he could be, at worst, a net neutral on that end.

Good post. The things he lacks can be taught or grown into. The things he has cannot be taught.

This team is better than last year. There, I said it. 😄
