Some other choice quotes from the NBA scouts:

>“**Anthony Edwards** is a top-10 player in the NBA right now,” an NBA scout told HoopsHype. “He’s the real deal and plays both sides of the ball. Minnesota has two top-10 NBA defenders: **Rudy Gobert**, with his rim protection, and **Jaden McDaniels**, one of the best defenders on the perimeter. People forget they played Denver tough the last few games of their series. I think they can be a real threat in the West.”

>“The Timberwolves are coming,” another NBA scout told HoopsHype. “They defend at a high level and play with a chip on their shoulder and hard. I think they’ll be one of the top four teams in the West if they stay healthy this season.”

  2. Yeah they’ve been a main topic of discussion on a ton of top basketball/sports podcasts. Now it’s important for them to not drink their own kool aid because they still haven’t proven anything. They need to keep their foot on the gas pedal and go out every night trying to kill the opponent

  3. > People forget they played Denver tough the last few games of their series.

    Forget? Other than play in champs it is all I got!

[Pompey] #Sixers forward Nick Batum didn’t appear to have any limitations shooting the ball before shootaround. He’s still listed as probable for tonight’s game vs. the Detroit Pistons with a sprained right finger.
