Wolves interim coach Sam Mitchell was talking with former NBA coach and current TV commentator Doug Collins before Friday’s nationally-televised game with Oklahoma City.
The two agreed there are two kinds of teams a coach wants. Either one filled with good vets ready to contend, or a team filled with young players full of potential.
Anything in-between? No thanks.
And so, despite a nine-game losing streak, Mitchell loves the team he has. And, after practice Saturday, Mitchell defended his work developing that Wolves young roster.
“Our three leading scorers are our young guys,” Mitchell said of Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns and Zach LaVine.
