The Wolves new management structure is no more than a week old and we are already starting to see the team of the future. Ryan Saunders’ new coaching schemes are playing out at the game-to-game level. Injuries have partially forced his hand, but Tyus Jones is getting more run and the rotation has been more flexible. The team is playing at a faster pace and prioritizing threes. Long-twos are worth negative points in practice, music and happiness are allowed, and everyone gets their designated avocado toast for breakfast and participation trophy after each game.
Soon enough we will start seeing laudatory articles from the national press extolling the virtues the team-building on and off the court, with Karl-Anthony Towns at the center uttering platitudes that are in no way, shape, or form constructed to be critical of his former coach.
