    He’s not even old enough to drink lol he’s gonna take a lot of lumps. We will see how he looks in 21-22 before really judging harshly.

    He’s clearly talented man, they see him a lot more than us. It takes awhile to take the leap from practice to game in the NBA. He has all the skills you want offensively out of an off guard. Like I said, wait until he is 22/23 years only or so.

    I feel like Skal has been more agressive tonight and he needs to be that way more often. Seems like he could be putting up near 10 points a game, which would be amazing for our bench.

    I have to say after all the years people talk about how Wiggins was lazy and what not, he has really impressed me tonight. His aggression and cuts to the basket have been big for the Wolves.

    Skal has his moments where he is really good out there, and moments where he's not so good. I think he really benefits from having Damian and Hassan in the lineup with him. When he's out there with the bench scrubs, he really really looks bad. Game still needs to slow down for him at times.

    I agree. I do like the lineup with him and whiteside together.

    He reminds me of Dante Cunningham when he was with us.

    In a way, I think it's what the team was hoping to get out of Zach and Hassan/Nurk.

    Part of me thinks he should get the starting nod over Tolliver. Maybe depending on the matchups, when Anthony comes back too.

    Baze is playing his way into more trade value, I appreciate it.
