3rd straight 20+ point game for Aaron Gordon.

6-12 on three pointers for those three games.

He is going to be good.

Right Eddie20?

He could win the coveted CB Summer League MVP Sticky Note!

I'm interested to see if Dante Exum shows any improvement.

Exum looked more aggressive tonight and his first step is for real.

He still doesn't have a great jumpshot.  He still reminds me of Leandro Barbosa.  Maybe he'll be a rich man's version of that. 

Smart looked much more in control of his team's offense.  Smart looked like a floor general to me.  Exum is a lanky dude with a nice first step.

He's obviously got to do in regular season games, but Exum would be a good guy for Lakers' fans to remember when Russell looks nothing like a #2 pick for most of his rookie season.

Upshaw is playing too. Lavine stood out in the first half with 18 points.  Clarkson has played well too.  The other guys have been ok, but quiet except for Randle who has struggled.

In the earlier game, Cauley-Stein and Caboclo played well.

oooh, can't say Randle struggles.  still have people here who think we should have taken him over Smart and that he makes for a more valuable trade chip than Smart ::)

Haha, I love seeing that logic on here. Randle has been quite bad.

I've only seen a few minutes of it myself. I was watching third quarter of Denver game to see Mudiay play. Everyone has been impressive. Except for Randle. A little nervy at times but flashes of terrific talent.

Towns is huge. Towers over people. Unselfish passer out of low post.

Towns hasn't filled up the box score, but keeps making the right play.  He knows how to play.

I think if Towns has a decent rookie campaign and Lavine, Wiggins and Shabazz improve as well as Pek and Rubio stay healthy (with Martin) the Wolves are going to surprise a lot of people this year

I hope so, for our sake.

looking at how the western teams are shaking out this offseason, provided the Minny players improve/stay healthy this season, I really think they could come close to a playoff spot.  I don't think they'll make it but certainly come in 9th or 10th in the West which would figure to be better than 9th in the East so the pick would convey to us
