MINAyo DosunmuDevelopment𝕏 Beat19h

Dosunmu brings a Chicago grittiness and toughness that Minnesota has needed for years.

“He's from Chicago so he brings that grittiness and toughness that I love, that we've needed for years.”

MINBones Hyland · Zyon PullinRole & Rotation𝕏 Beat1d

Hyland looks best as an aggressive scorer next to a point guard instead of running the offense.

“I still think the best version of him is aggressive -- more focused on being a weapon than getting the team into the offense. Thought he looked a lot more dynamic tonight playing alongside a point guard (Zyon Pullin) than he did on Monday (when he was clearly running the show during his minutes).”

MIAGiannis AntetokounmpoDevelopment𝕏 Beat4h

Giannis was more assertive tonight and Miami wants him putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket.

“He was more assertive tonight, putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket. We want that. We need that.”

Giannis was more forceful and assertive going downhill against a slightly different coverage.

“Well, you could feel more of his force, you know, tonight. I think he could sense that it was a slightly different coverage and night to night it could be that. That's what the great players, you know, require when you're scouting against them. Usually it's something different or different little nuanced schemes and scouting reports. But he was definitely assertive, getting to his spots, quickly, you know, downhill. You know, so that's more of what we're expecting, you know, than, you know, making plays to wide open shooters time and time again.”
