  • Podcast Locked On Wolves · 3 points ·
    • Bench rebounding: Joan Beringer had 9 rebounds in 15 minutes, Trey Lyles 5, Ayo Dosunmu 6, and TJ 4. at 4:44
    • Jack thought Trey Lyles looked much better: good passes to Rudy Gobert for dunks, a couple of made threes, and 5 rebounds in 16 minutes. at 16:58
    • Jack Borman: Jack says the Wolves need Trey Lyles to make threes if he is going to be on the floor. at 17:07

  • Podcast Zach Lowe, The Zach Lowe Show · Report · around the league

    Wolves bench: Bones Hyland played basically garbage time only. Minnesota went bigger off the bench, with Terrence Shannon Jr. playing a lot and Trey Lyles in a real role.

  • Podcast Locked On Wolves host · Opinion ·

    Individual perimeter defense: Shannon got beaten off the dribble a few times, Trey Lyles was spotty, and Ayo Dosunmu was good.

  • Podcast Jack Borman, Locked On Wolves · Opinion ·

    Borman says the Wolves got killed inside whenever Gobert was off the floor. He doesn't think Trey Lyles is big enough to protect Joan Beringer against bigger, more physical frontlines.

  • Podcast Locked On Kings host · Prediction · around the league

    Host view: Cardwell might return sooner than two weeks, but it's also possible he's out three to four weeks. He compares it to a calf strain Trey Lyles had a couple of seasons ago, which the host thinks cost Lyles over a month.

  • Podcast Locked On Wolves · 2 points ·
    • Host's bold prediction: Trey Lyles will be the seventh man in total minutes. at 17:15
    • Host expects a fair amount of small ball with Lyles at the five and Jonathan Kuminga, McDaniels or Terrence Shannon Jr at the four. at 20:35

  • Podcast Locked On Wolves · 5 points ·
    • Trey Lyles was the 9th man and Bones Hyland the 10th, matching the host's projection. at 3:54
    • Lyles played with Gobert more than in earlier games, mostly because of foul trouble for Joan Beringer. at 4:20
    • Joan Beringer had two personal fouls in his first four minutes and was pulled in the first half. Host thinks Lyles also played some minutes at center, not the best matchup for that. at 21:59
    • Detroit scored 64 paint points (host first said 62, then corrected himself). Host blames the perimeter defense more than the bigs, who he says protected the paint pretty well. at 21:29
    • Rebounding: the Wolves allowed 10 offensive rebounds. Lyles had zero rebounds in 15 minutes. Gobert had 4 rebounds (all defensive) in 22 minutes. Beringer had 7 rebounds, 4 offensive and only 3 defensive, in 18 minutes. at 22:32

    “Minnesota Timberwolves' Offense Starts Fast But Defense Falters In Dress Rehearsal vs. Pistons” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Ben Beecken, Locked On Wolves · Analysis ·

    The host says Trey Lyles will be in the rotation mainly as a four. He calls Lyles probably the third-string center and also the second-string power forward.

    “Minnesota Timberwolves Roster Preview: Deep Bench Questions | Can Cody Williams Level Up?” at 27:38 · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On Wolves · 2 points ·
    • Ben Beecken: Host concern: the frontcourt is not deep. After Beringer, Gobert and Lyles there is not much. Backup center is a possible concern, and Cody Williams would ostensibly be the backup four. at 10:19
    • Ben Beecken: The host's own hunch: the staff is pairing Trey Lyles with Joan Beringer as much as possible because of Beringer's defensive rebounding shortcomings, and Lyles adds floor spacing. at 13:44
