     When the top rookies and sophomores play at All-Star Weekend, expect some Timberwolves.  How many do you think will be there?

     

    Wiggins, Towns, Bjelica, LaVine, they should be there.  Jones, Payne and Rudez would be eligible too.  An injury could open minutes for them at Minnesota, and maybe get them into the game, although it is unlikely.  Don’t think I missed any, maybe I did.

     

    They do change rules and roster sizes for that game, but there may be 18 players in the game and at least 4 could be from Minnesota.

     Well for rookies Towns and Bjelica are trully impressive, they are amongst the top performers in the NBA amongst the rookies so far. They both definetely bring a new dimension to that team, KAT is athletic with a great touch shot blocking and rebounding (i used to be a huge doubter, he is making me a believer). Bjelica is an oversized Point Forward that can just flat out play, as last nights game in Chicago proved. They are an exciting team right now and for the future to say the least.

     Probably just those four (Wiggins, lavine, towns and bjelica). I don’t see Jones or Payne getting the necessary mins this season.

     Wiggins has been so inefficient, I believe he’s shooting under 30% for the year so far.. I know it’s only 5 games in but I still don’t understand how starting him over Kevin Martin or Shabazz is better for the team.. Have him earn his minutes getting off the bench. This may not be a popular opinion but I’m worried the Wolves have rushed him this year and last.

     That won’t be a popular opinion because its possibly the worst move the team can make. 

    They aren’t winnning the championship or going to the playoffs this year, so you might as well let Wiggins find his way and work through his early season – five game – struggles. 

    I could understand maybe wanting to move Prince to the second unit so there aren’t so many proverbial "cooks in the kitchen" with Lavine, Martin and Bazz, but Wiggins is a franchise piller and supposed to be one of the solutions. He had a nice rookie year and he’s struggled in the first 2 weeks of the season. Don’t move him to the bench. Especially in the NBA when status is such a huge thing.
