Flirts with double-double
Ball batted through foul trouble, limiting him to just 17 minutes. However, during his time on the floor, he looked fantastic, continuing what has been a strong start to his career in Minnesota. In three appearances, he has averaged 16.0 points, 6.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.7 three-pointers in just 22.8 minutes per game. Assuming he averages close to 30 minutes per game moving forward, there is no reason he can't be a steady top-30 standard league asset.

Another strong two-way performance
McDaniels continued his strong start to the season, providing ample contributions on both ends of the floor. Through the first three games, he has averaged 15.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 2.7 combined steals and blocks. Now playing as the full-time power forward, it isn't surprising to see his rebound and block numbers increasing. Assuming nothing much changes, he should be locked in for a potential top 50 season.

Drops 15 points in blowout win
Shannon made the most of what ended up being a blowout win, scoring double digits for the third straight game to begin the season. In three appearances, he has averaged 12.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers, providing Minnesota with worthwhile contributions. Anyone in deeper formats could do worse, given the fact his role appears relatively secure.
