About this episode

On this week’s episode of ‘The Young Man and the Three’ we welcome back Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo! The Big Ragu. Donte opens up by sharing how he’s gotten acclimated to his role on the Wolves since the start of the season, and praises the young depth on the Wolves. He also shares what Mike Conley and his experience and poise mean to the roster. Donte also explains what Julius Randle’s return from injury means to the Wolves, and how Julius and Anthony Edwards have found success in their two-man game. He also compares Ant’s athleticism to a former teammate in Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), and shares a list of some of the most unguardable players in the league (which includes Josh Hart on the Knicks). Donte then gives props to TJ McConnell after their recent game against the Pacers, and shares his thoughts on the Western Conference playoff picture before diving into a range of current topics in basketball like NIL, tanking for draft picks, and more. Let’s go.
