New Guy Night
Andrew Wiggins
He started his NBA debut but was limited to 18 ½ minutes and six points scored because of foul trouble, a tight game and a sobering introduction by facing Memphis guard Tony Allen, one of the league's best perimeter defenders.
Anthony Bennett
He played only 14 minutes, but provided energy — and a couple of thunderous two-handed slam dunks on his way to nine points — to a second unit that was perhaps the Wolves' biggest problem a year ago.
Thaddeus Young
Eight-year veteran came home to Memphis and answered, at least for one evening, where Kevin Love's 26 points will come from. He matched that exactly with a 10-for-18 shooting night.
