Quick Thoughts

1. Thibs Canned: Today, the Wolves did the unexpected and fired Tim Thibodeau as coach and GM. The Wolves have not been great so far (18-21, 11th in the West) but they haven’t been much worse than reasonable expectations, which pegged them as a lower seeded playoff team. According to Adrian Wonjarowski of ESPN, the firing came because the team didn’t like how Thibodeau handled the Jimmy Butler affair and because Thibodeau had a bad relationship with CEO Ethan Casson, who had “concerns on the … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

2015 NBA Draft Top 60 Post Tournament

NBA Draft 2015: Top 60

My first top 60 is never in precise order and this one is no exception. With only numbers from the easy non-conference schedule to use, it’s difficult to separate the players on a hot streak from the ones who are the real deal. For that reason rather than a strict ranking of prospects 1-60, I rank the prospects in groups that (hopefully) will be sorted out into a more traditional Top 60 a month from now. Each group is ranked in order of value. For example a freshman center is generally more … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2015: Top 60
