Greetings again from New Orleans
Wolves coach Flip Saunders was still being cagey about who will start at power forward tonight in place of Thaddeus Young, whose mother died Thursday. Actually, it probably doesn't matter who starts. I think a number of players – Anthony Bennett, Gorgui Dieng, Robbie Hummel and maybe even Ronny Turiaf will get plenty of opportunity to guard Pelicans guard Anthony Davis tonight.
I look for Dieng to get a lot of run at the power forward position tonight; Turiaf's health allows Saunders another option to back up starting center Nikola Pekovic. And Dieng has some experience guarding Davis from college.
That said, it will be difficult for anyone to slow Davis, who is off to one of the best starts in the league.
Other than Young and Ricky Rubio, Saunders said everyone is available tonight.
That's about all for now. I'll get back to you after the game.
