Nuggets 107, Wolves 100: A Familiar Flaw

His answer was yes, essentially. Ryan believed the coaching staff could emphasize gang rebounding on the defensive end, asking everyone to buckle down and become vitally important in this process of collecting boards and shutting down possessions. He specifically mentioned sophomore Josh Okogie as a key weapon that could help them greatly in this regard, even as my question suggested disbelief.
