While we don’t know exactly how new Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas will want the Wolves to play or how much he will dictate that — though we should know more Monday when he is introduced to the local media — it’s reasonable to think he was brought in to build and manage a roster able to execute the style of play that has made Houston both efficient and successful.
This season, Houston was the only NBA team that shot more three-pointers than two-pointers. And the Rockets adhered to the notion that the most efficient shots are three-pointers or attempts at the rim: Seventy-eight percent of all their shots fit into one of those two categories.
