How’s this for a declarative statement: all head coaching hires are important.
Controversial, I know. But consider just how vital the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ upcoming decision will be to the course of the franchise.
Karl-Anthony Towns is still only 23 years old and will begin playing on his max contract next season. Andrew Wiggins is still only 24 years old and is beginning Year Two of his massive deal. Dario Saric was 50 percent of the return for All-Star Jimmy Butler and will be playing for his own extension as he nears his prime years.
Of course, it all starts with the front office hire, as the Timberwolves are reportedly choosing from four finalists.
