Draymond GreenHOST
Steven Adams is strong as hell.
Draymond GreenHOST
the thing about the strength that Steven Adams has is you mostly feel his strength when he's offensive rebound, you know, because like, you know, he's like when he's posting up, you know what I'm saying? Like, it ain't like he's just plowing over you like, you know, Nikola Pekovic used to, you know, but when he's offensive rebound and that's when you really feel his strength, you know, but I would say for me, current day, I would say Jalen Dern.
Draymond GreenHOST
Jalen Dern is strong as hell.
Draymond GreenHOST
But you're probably a
J.Z. CourtsideHOST
No, I don't really like Johnny Flynn.
J.Z. CourtsideHOST
When they had Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic.
J.Z. CourtsideHOST
I think that's his name.
J.Z. CourtsideHOST
I am a huge fan of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I don't see them doing anything this year.
Wilder AdamsHOST
I think we're going to see a dimension of this Timberwolves team that, honestly, we've never seen.
Wilder AdamsHOST
Because even when Ricky Rubio was on the Timberwolves, they had the Kevin Loves and the Pekovic's in the frontcourt.
Wilder AdamsHOST
So it was a pretty limited team athletically around Ricky Rubio at times.
Wilder AdamsHOST
But this team is going to be so darn athletic.

I have no reservations about going Randall.

Wilder AdamsGUEST
I love it.
Gabe AndersonHOST
Yeah, it'll be interesting.
Gabe AndersonHOST
Pekovic, how good was his English when he was here? Was it great? Moderate.
Gabe AndersonHOST

J.E. SkeetsHOST
Two, uh, All-NBA selections.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
The only other competition is current player Jaden McDaniels, who's only played for Minnesota, and then, uh, a, a fan favorite, Nikola Pekovic.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
That dude was a fucking bear.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
This guy was like a real-life Zangief from Street Fighter.

Played for the Hornets.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Toronto Raptors, my Toronto Raptors.

Now, Tass would try and make the case for Jorge Garbajosa, who was an absolute fan favorite.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
He was solid, but the, the answer is current forward, Scottie Barnes.
