Minn) Donte DiVincenzo O17.5 PRAs
It looks like the role is going to be great for Donte straight off the bat as the Wolves try keep Mike Conley’s minutes in check throughout the season.
He had a 20% usage rate through preseason, which is in line with the 20.9% last year where he averaged 15.5 points in 29.1 minutes at the Knicks.
He’s likely going to have the ball in his hands a lot more this season as Coach Finch has already commented multiple times how comfortable he is with him playing the backup PG. That is huge for his minutes upside as it means he can play in a lineup with Ant/Jaden/Randle & Rudy, the 4 guys likely to lead the team in minutes.
He had a huge 23% assist rate through preseason with the extra ball handling, way up from 13.3% last year where he still averaged 2.7 assists in his 29 mins. The rebounds give us a bit of extra security, especially if he plays solid minutes.
Donte averaged 16.7 PA in 22.1 mins in the preseason on roughly the same shooting splits. He should be smashing this in a good matchup if he gets close to 28 mins which he should.
