The Timberwolves have opened training camp with positive vibes amid the “culture change” engineered by new President Gersson Rosas and Head Coach Ryan Saunders. There is a clear difference in tone from the Tom Thibodeau era—more openness, more togetherness, and more fun.
Not unrelated: The roster is much younger than the last couple of iterations. Jeff Teague (31), Gorgui Dieng (29) and Robert Covington (29) are the elder statesmen on the squad, and the only players that can be said to be on the back end of their primes.
