Common Niko Medved Success

Takes down UCLA with just one bench player, and said bench player only playing just 9 minutes.

I’m glad all the metric sites are touting them well because so many games have been within a bucket or two

BJ Omot as well

Offensive scheme is sick, but I just continue to fawn over the buy-in Niko Medved has garnered from this group.

Was already down projected contributors Chansey Willis, Robert Vaihola, + now Jaylen Crocker-Johnson, and they haven’t skipped a beat.

Looking great vs UCLA today.

Weak side entry pass BLOB to Anthony Edwards in the clutch, cannot say I have seen that look before.

Gritty start to the 4Q from Donte DiVincenzo.

Drawing two offensive fouls, and ripping the ball away from Jordan Miller.

Here is the Conley look to cross reference.

High post entry, misdirection pindown to find the inbounder.

Good to see Chris Finch pull out his 23/24 staple BLOB look that he used to run for Mike Conley damn near every time.

Donte DiVincenzo is the beneficiary this time.

Same idea here. Do I think Anthony Edwards needs to be dialed in off the ball against Derrick Jones Jr.? No, not exactly. He also contests the shot.

But being flat-footed in an end of clock situation doesn't look great.

The Wolves put together some disastrous defensive possessions. Therefore Mike Conley subs in, and in his first possession they run his signature flex action, and he airballs badly.

Alrighty.

Look at the craft from Anthony Edwards.

Gets DJJ off his feet on the pump fake, slightly changes speeds, then finishes with his near hand, left-hand, around Brook Lopez.

Shannon is getting some opportunities after coming back from his injury, but I cannot imagine he is going to see much more if he keeps doing stuff like this.

Donte DiVincenzo hustle and effort. Good scramble defense.

Forces Kris Dunn off the line, then rotates to pressure the kickout to Brook Lopez.

TJ Shannon is averaging 3.9 fouls per 36 minutes.

Needs to clean that up.

Donte DiVincenzo with some disruption on the Brook Lopez DHO and dunk number nine of the season.

(also a dho with 2.4 seconds on the clock is quite hilarious)

"why doesnt ant hit rudy when he's pressured?"

Jaden McDaniels to Rudy Gobert dump-off passes.

Always a beautiful sight.

Three poor transition/semi-transition defensive possessions from the Wolves Julius Randle - Naz Reid lineup.

- Jordan Miller beats Randle with ease and finishes at the rim.
- Miller walks into the paint, bumps Reid, and finishes.
- Randle does not see Benn Mathurin whatsoever.

I liked the Wolves aggression on these Yanic Konan Niederhauser elbow entry passes in the 1Q.

Back to back possessions, the low man is looking to be disruptive.

filthy filthy space creation and footwork in the mid-range from Anthony Edwards my goodness

Obviously, the Anthony Edwards slam is sick, but the Rudy Gobert bounce pass is what caught my eye here.

This Rudy Gobert screen flip out of the Get action has been an easy quick hitter for early clock offense.

Here, Donte DiVincenzo and Gobert link up.

It's a good way of simulating some of DDV's hand-off success with Hartenstein in NY.

I am unsure how I feel about Kyle Anderson minutes in 2026, but adding him to the vet group of Mike Conley and Joe Ingles feels like a really solid move.

A guy who knows all the ins and outs of the team already, and brings that Jersey no bs mentality.

welcome back kyle anderson
