Potentially The NBA’s Most Exciting Starting Five

By

Not to jump on the bandwagon, but what’s not to like about an NBA team that could potentially start Ricky Rubio, Wesley Johnson, Derrick Williams, Michael Beasley and Kevin Love, with Darko as your sixth man? Basically nothing. That’s why the following clip of the T-Wolves in the gym before the lockout will keep me amped throughout the summer.



How many games will the T-Wolves win next season?

    In all seriousness, Kahn is an easy target to make fun of. But the Wolves do have some really nice young players.

    HYPE HYPE HYPE will they live up to the hype. ricky rubio, derrick williams, kevin love…im excited to watch these guys go to work, undersized big men are always fun to watch

    Their learning curve looks like Mount Everest. After watching the Kings lose their asses the last few seasons in a row, I can tell you exciting only goes so far, and the jury is still out on Rubio…

  • deagletime

    They are the clippers of the East…

    Mo Will, Eric Gordon, Iggy (fingers crossed), Blake and DeAndre? Whats not to like about that?

  • Kudabeen

    I don’t think it is hype they need to live up to…They are actually built to be exciting and even last year they were…I don’t think anyone is hyping them to be winners, so they are set up pretty good for future…X-Factor to me isn’t Rubio (he is a wildcard)

    If they get Anthony Randolph to come of the bench and be that mismatch that team don’t have an answer for they could be this years Memphis…If they can steal a guy like Battier or Tayshaun Prince as well would certainly help.

    Khan is earning points with me…He is the most accountable GM I’ve ever seen/heard. That could be because he has a lot to answer for, but when I hear him speak I think he is more thoughtful than knee-jerk…

    This team is absolutely a contender for most alley oops next year.

    Biggest question is whether they can play defense. The young guys have lots of length across the board so the potential is there.

    At first I thought they were scrimmagin against the Knicks…then I realized that there was no defense bein played cuz there were no opponents LOL!

  • sonic
