He's got a super-quick first step and is a good passer. But yeah, he needs time on the court to acclimate to the speed and size

Dillingham just 3-10 with 3 TOs and 4 PFs. Size on defense pretty glaring.

Did have 9 assists. It will be a process for him.

A ton of optimism surrounding Shannon entering this season. Watching him in this game gives no reason to temper the enthusiasm

Man, Zikarsky looked pretty good! Nice touch around the rim

Couple of great cuts from Jaylen Clark already

Big Val is giving him quite an intro though

Beringer is gonna be a problem in this league, sooner than later

Maybe he’s been left handed all along

Bald Rudy Gobert hook shots, 2025 is wild

It’s just preseason but this is a really impressive opening quarter for the Wolves on both ends

I believe it's on League Pass, but not sure of other options.

Told that Wolves-Nuggets will be available in market on League Pass tonight, in addition to the

Mike Conley's assertiveness is shining through at Timberwolves training camp

One of the early themes of Wolves training camp has been the assertiveness of Mike Conley. He may be nearing 38 years old, but in some ways he still holds the keys to the Wolves reaching another level.

That's kinda what I think? Sure seems like Finch likes him with the starters, though

On Timberwolves media day, it was nice to see Naz Reid smile.

Kayla McBride. Big time.

I named the show after myself. Humility isn’t a strong suit

I don't have any data to back this up. It just *seems* like there's been way more preseason injuries this season than most years. Hate to see it.

The Wolves have announced that Alan Horton will handle the TV play-by-play duties when Michael Grady is doing national games this season. Great opportunity for Horton, who has been the radio voice for a long time.

Alyssa Thomas and Napheesa Collier have been jawing at each other all game. AT gave Phee some hell after she missed that look badly to allow the game to go to OT.
