I'd rather bet some money on Pek breaking skulls to climb onto the top of the underground, if he were to go that way.

He's talked about how he was unhappy playing SG for you guys and how he feels he's going to do a lot better with a) more time and b) a return to PG. (from the looks of his rookie season, he was lucky he got as much burn as he got over Tyus).
Bulls fans are really keeping their fingers crossed he can turn things around. His passing instincts actually looked pretty good in every game imo, he looks like he has potential as the PnR handler, but what's glaringly obvious is his inability to create separation from his defender. As a result, he's not aggressive attacking the ring. I'd been yelling at my screen for him to actually attack and use his athleticism, and he's only really done it on two plays (vs Bucks).
Sounds like he'll be out 2-4 weeks with that finger, unfortunately.
As for LaVine, sounds like the plan is a December return sometime. He certainly looks like he's bulked up, maybe that will help him get to the line more. I'm just hoping he comes back looking like his old self and we'll go from there.
For those interested in Markkanen, he's expected to play for the first time today.

Thanks, yeah I just want to see him explode to the hoop! Hopefully his confidence increases as the year goes on.KGdaBom wrote:Word is if the Wolves had kept the pick they too would have taken Markkanen. I like Mark, but don't get teams that could use a PG taking him over Dennis Smith Jr.
I was livid with the pick when we made it, because DSJ was on the board. Suggested to me that the Bulls had some delusional hopes for Dunn as well.
I'm happier with it now after his play for Finland but he's going to have to play just like that in the NBA for it to not be a mistake. DSJ is the real deal.
Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
