It's an exhibition game that doesn't actually mean anything. But as Chris Webber and Grant Hill mentioned on commentary, our rookies don't get to play for a national audience...well....ever. As surprised as most of Wolves Twitter was seeing Utah's Rudy Gobert tonight, that's how surprised a lot of the rest of America was seeing our rooks. So it's still a cool moment for Andrew, Zach, Gorgui and Bazz to get, and they made the most of it. As it were.
- Dieng - 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals
- Bazz - 10 points, 5 rebounds
- LaVine - 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists

Yes, Andrew Wiggins won the MVP. And is now off to Dagobah to train with Yoda.

(Also we're not so Wolves-centric that we won't acknowledge Rudy Gobert, who could have easily taken the MVP trophy himself)
- Gobert - 18 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks.
