The Wolves' Andrew Wiggins took in some NBA Summer League action on Monday, and NBA TV caught up with him. There was nothing overly boastful about anything Wiggins said, but a few things caught my ear — particularly as they related to the defense and team-building Tom Thibodeau has been preaching since he arrived. Here are a few quick Wiggins quotes:
• On Thibodeau's style: "He's going to really push defense and playing hard and all that. We're looking forward to it."
• On what he's noticed from Thibodeau and the staff: "He's out here supporting the team and they're getting involved in everything we do. They want to see the growth and what we're working on."
• On the Wolves' identity: "Young. We're going to be playing hard, getting up and down. We're going to be all over the place. I feel like we're going to be a nightmare to play."
