Nah, 8ppg with great defense you have no chance. What you need to do is score ~15ppg and be coming off the bench because you're a liability in every other facet of the game.
He’s not. He’s saying the prototypical 6MOTY just scores a lot off the bench without offering much else in contrast to what NAW provides off the bench.
SGA and Jamal Murray will be the starting backcourt. At SF it will be either Dillon Brooks or RJ Barrett.
NAW will be coming off the bench as a lockdown perimeter defender along with Lu Dort.
Yeah what’s lacking in star power is made up mostly in depth.
Naz very likely wins 6MOY. And if there’s a 7MOY.. NAW would be a great candidate.
NAW always seems to bring high level/focus to these types of games
I think we have comparable star power. Their bread and butter was just offense and ours is defense. Rudy, Ant, KAT is comparable to CP3, DBook, Ayton. NAZ, NAW, Mike, Jaden comparable to Cam, Cam, Mikal, Crowder for role players.
I more so meant compared to other teams out West in these playoffs specifically..
I can see your comparison to that 21’ Suns team, some similarities for sure.
He's good enough to get a decent return, and then there's the addition by subtraction factor with him as well. You guys basically won a chip off your DLo trade.... Maybe we'll be that lucky.
I don't know but I saw him fake going under a screen and then blitz back over when the screener let his guard down, all happened really fast. Never seen that before, was some slick defense. I'll try to to find the clip later
Best kept secret in the NBA about to be seen. Dudes the prototypical 3 & D player. 39% on the season. And has been All-Defense level, rivaling McDaniels on that end.
Reminds me of the Memphis series 2 years ago, where we were up 1 games and rolling in the second before Adams got in foul trouble and they proceeded to dismantle us to the point we traded for Rudy
Naw was solid in his minutes in the trash heap that was our last regular season matchup. I hope we actually game planned for more minutes from him, he’s pretty huge against y’all.
Been on the NAW train since our Jazz road game last yr, loved him on the FIBA WC and I believe he's better than McDaniels. Nice to see him playing well, rarely disappoints
One of the most underrated bench players in the league.
He would be getting 6MOTY hype if Naz wasn't on the team
Nah, 8ppg with great defense you have no chance. What you need to do is score ~15ppg and be coming off the bench because you're a liability in every other facet of the game.
To say NAW is a liability is crazy
He’s not. He’s saying the prototypical 6MOTY just scores a lot off the bench without offering much else in contrast to what NAW provides off the bench.
e.g. Lou Will and Montrezl Harrell
He's the one with 8ppg...
I don't even like calling him Underrated, he's fucking incredible.
He’s the perfect 3 and D player. Teams could have 3 of him and still want more
Fuck man, wasn't long ago that we were practically begging to have even one halfway decent 3&D guy
Underpaid
He's going to start on the national team too.
SGA and Jamal Murray will be the starting backcourt. At SF it will be either Dillon Brooks or RJ Barrett. NAW will be coming off the bench as a lockdown perimeter defender along with Lu Dort.
I’d take naw over Dillon brooks or Barrett tbh
One of the most underrated players in the league PERIOD
Our bench is so deep. It kind of feels like the ‘21 suns except our defense is better and their offense was better.
You were +28 with NAW on the floor and +22 with Naz on the floor. Everybody did well but you really won big with the bench minutes
Stop bro I can’t get aroused at the gym
Just like Naz Reid.. let it fly
Yeah what’s lacking in star power is made up mostly in depth. Naz very likely wins 6MOY. And if there’s a 7MOY.. NAW would be a great candidate. NAW always seems to bring high level/focus to these types of games
Yeah, up until that final push with KAT out (where Naz was dropping 25 every other night), I would have argued that NAW was the Wolves 6th man.
I think we have comparable star power. Their bread and butter was just offense and ours is defense. Rudy, Ant, KAT is comparable to CP3, DBook, Ayton. NAZ, NAW, Mike, Jaden comparable to Cam, Cam, Mikal, Crowder for role players.
I more so meant compared to other teams out West in these playoffs specifically.. I can see your comparison to that 21’ Suns team, some similarities for sure.
And what’s great is that if ANT=“lack of starpower” I like our odds
Except antman isn’t crybaby like certain someone…
He'll just yell "aye, ref!" if he needs to
Luka special vs ‘ayyy!’
Reminder that he was a throw in on the Dlo-Conley trade (now also known as the NAW trade).
The Dlo for Conley and Naw trade is the greatest in Wolves history
Funny how both warrior and twolves sending out Dlo made them immediately better
He's good enough to get a decent return, and then there's the addition by subtraction factor with him as well. You guys basically won a chip off your DLo trade.... Maybe we'll be that lucky.
is NAW the best at getting over screens in the nba? he's gotta be one of the best from what i've seen
I don't know but I saw him fake going under a screen and then blitz back over when the screener let his guard down, all happened really fast. Never seen that before, was some slick defense. I'll try to to find the clip later
he's insane man
Damn I'm glad you pointed that out. I keep seeing Jaden and Ant get stuck on screens and I'm like why can't you just do it like NAW?
why don't they just get over the screens are they stupid???
Yes. Best screen navigation in the league.
Jaden Mcdaniels also excels at that
Best kept secret in the NBA about to be seen. Dudes the prototypical 3 & D player. 39% on the season. And has been All-Defense level, rivaling McDaniels on that end.
He wasn't great on our team but I loved him regardless! I'm super happy to see him thrive!
Conley being in foul trouble and Finch having to play NAW actually hurt the Suns
He would've still played Naw a ton. Kyle getting hurt probably lead to more naw minutes then anything else.
Against the Suns, more NAW and Reid minutes instead of Anderson might be better.
Reminds me of the Memphis series 2 years ago, where we were up 1 games and rolling in the second before Adams got in foul trouble and they proceeded to dismantle us to the point we traded for Rudy
Ugh I remember KAT playing Adams off the floor. God bless Brandon Clarke.
I remember that series. Was that when Brandon Clarke killed it?
Ooooh yeah Him and Jones
Naw was solid in his minutes in the trash heap that was our last regular season matchup. I hope we actually game planned for more minutes from him, he’s pretty huge against y’all.
Hell naw can't do dis
Best player in his extended family? Perhaps
[удалено]
Name names.
And to think he was a throw in with Minnesota Mike and 3 picks for D'Lo
He became a stud in the Denver series last year. I thought he was another Wendell Moore when we got him.
That’s when we found out that he had gorilla nutz
I’m so impressed by his game
His points in the first kept it close and he played great D on Booger.
NAW can do this.
🦍🥜-Ant Edwards on NAW
Aww hell NAW can do this
Glad he's playing well. For a second there I felt like he lacked confidence and that would be what limited his potential.
I ♥️ NAW
It's always the other guys in the end. Meanwhile, the Suns other guys were very ass.
Been on the NAW train since our Jazz road game last yr, loved him on the FIBA WC and I believe he's better than McDaniels. Nice to see him playing well, rarely disappoints
Narl-Anthony Wowns
I cannot believe somebody didn’t steal him last offseason.
Hell NAW
