The Wolves hired David Vanterpool as associated head coach this week, a move that is interesting on several fronts. He’s viewed as a defensive specialist, but he also has ties to Andrew Wiggins.
The question: How much improvement on both fronts might Vanterpool be able to achieve next season?
First take: Michael Rand
President Gersson Rosas said he wanted to make top-level hires and treat assistants almost like coordinators in football. This feels very much like a move made by Rosas — particularly since he interviewed Vanterpool for the head coaching job last month — and a good one at that.
