The Timberwolves are struggling this season, but the bright spot is that they have very good young players like Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine who will get better.
The reason? There are few coaching staffs in the NBA better than the one put together by Flip Saunders. Sidney Lowe and Sam Mitchell have been around the league a long time, and have been head coaches in the NBA. They know how to develop players.
The Wolves will add a lottery pick to next year’s team, get everyone healthy and – believe me – this team will turn into a winner.
