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.

- Wolves shot 62% from the line. That includes garbage-time misses by Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr, and Gobert went 5 of 8. Host says free throws need to improve. at 16:59
- Individual perimeter defense: Shannon got beaten off the dribble a few times, Trey Lyles was spotty, and Ayo Dosunmu was good. at 19:43
- Shannon struggled early and was better in the second half. He went 2 of 7 from three, with both makes back to back from the right corner. at 5:57
- Host's analysis: Shannon hitting corner threes regularly would be important for spacing and as a safety valve when Ball or Edwards drive or Gobert short-rolls. at 8:28
- It names Jaylen Clark and, with 'I would assume', Shannon. This conflicts with the later statement that Clark was not in the rotation, so who the first subs were is unclear. at 20:47
- Host restates his preseason bold prediction that Shannon would be the seventh man and slide down the minutes list. He says Shannon was very good in this game, especially in the second half. at 20:56

- 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
- Host calls Terrence Shannon Jr.'s's preseason pretty underwhelming. at 18:21
- Host worries that bench scoring beyond Ayo Dosunmu depends on Terrence Shannon Jr. and Bones Hyland, neither of whom has a track record of consistency. at 17:28
- Host predicts end-of-season minutes ranks of Bones about ninth, Clark maybe 10th and Terrence Shannon Jr 10th-11th. He floats that Shannon could be moved by the deadline if so. He says it is entirely possible Jaylen Clark starts the year as the 11th man. name not confirmed at 21:43
- Host's opinion (not a quote from Finch) that Chris Finch and Ant like Bones Hyland and Finch will lean on him over TJ Shannon. at 21:13

- Podcast Ben Beecken, Locked On Wolves · Analysis ·
Bench outlook: Dosunmu is not worse defensively than late-stage Jaylen Clark is probably in the rotation or on its fringe. Terrence Shannon Jr and Hyland are not good defenders, while Beringer is.

Regular starting five played (not named). Bench order: Ayo Dosunmu first off the bench, then Terrence Shannon Jr, then Joan Beringer.

In a recent preseason game (the host thinks it was Monday night), Cody Williams started at the four while Jonathan Kuminga was out and Terrence Shannon Jr was not going to play.

- Sam thinks Jonathan Kuminga is the starter most likely not to finish games. He says Jaden, Rudy, LaMelo and Ant will be on the floor, and Finch could go to Ayo Dosunmu if he has the hot hand, or to Terrence Shannon Jr when the matchup calls for him. at 17:29
- Sam (inferred) picks Terrence Shannon Jr as the most impactful bench piece. He expects Shannon to be volatile, with some poor nights, but able to win about five games with big scoring nights off the bench. at 28:11

- Ben Beecken: Terrence Shannon Jr., Rocco Zikarsky and Enrique Freeman did not dress against the Knicks. at 22:31
- Ben Beecken: The host could not find a reason why Shannon and Zikarsky sat out; the Wolves only listed them as not playing before the game. He speculated it could be rest for Shannon and was unsure about Zikarsky. at 22:52
