Jaylen Clark also stayed after practice to get some extra threes up, form looking great from the corner.
Just a 30.2% 3 point shooter in college gotta expect it’s something he’s looking to improve on.

Honestly I got to take the other side, coaching staff said here wanted him to play make and control the offense.
I think he knows he can score in SL, and is more so focused on running actions with the team.
Slow half from Rob, struggling to figure out pacing it seems.
I think he will honestly do better in a more NBA paced floor where his quickness can be more effective and where everyone isn’t going 1000 mph, as everyone seems to be at in Summer League.

One thing I hope to bring to the Wolves media is a healthcare side of injuries.
Meniscus tears are unique to the player and severity, but typically it’s 4-6 weeks regardless of treatment choices.
KAT has a great chance to return

Been one of the weirdest officiated games I’ve seen this year, not an excuse, just weird.
Wolves got to keep their composure and fix some things schematically for game four.
No team has ever come back from being down 3-0.
Denver played like they knew that statistic.

Game:
105- 94Wolves win
Daishen Nix 16-7-6 and looked like one of the few Wolves in control of the offense, then rattled off five in a row to seal the win.
Dillingham 14 and 8 dimes, his playmaking is impressive, definitely better than he showed at Kentucky.
