Monte to the Wolves!

Over/Under on how many games until Monte passes Luka in scoring this year?
Using career average it would be about 2.6 games...but a lot of those games were starter minutes.
I mean if he had to sit out half a season with an injury (the first major one of his career) what better place than almost his home town?
He’s in his last contract year so I hope they want to lock him up for a few more years. I believe their GM recently moved over from Denver and knew him from there, seems like a good sign he wants Monte as the long term backup PG
Not this year. Conley has been a steadying presence for the wolves but the PG has been a major issue when he’s off the court or out with injury.
Believe both Morris and Conley are free agents next year. There is an opportunity for Monte to impress and get the starting job next year if he plays well.
as much as it must suck to leave his hometown team, at the same time it must feel like escaping hell. I said at the time it was a mistake signing with the Pistons... and it ended up being a historically bad team.
Did that a couple of years ago when he was in town with Denver. I was literally alone in the section for seats the Wolves set aside for us. I was disappointed and embarrassed. Timberwolves gave me some nice swag though so it wasn't a complete loss.
If he gets back to 100%, he'll be a great fit there. He probably won't compete with Conley, but with Conley's age, Monte will get a lot of opportunity to spell him and keep him fresh for the playoffs.
I've seen some discussion wondering how much of Monte's success in Denver was Jokic-based, but his numbers in Washington last season were almost identical to his last two seasons in Denver.
