Wolves' use of LaVine's guard skills is a hot topic

Sam Mitchell understands.

The Wolves interim coach knows why the subject of where Zach LaVine gets his minutes – at point guard or shooting guard — continues to be a hot topic.

Heck, Mitchell was there Sunday in Phoenix, too. He saw what happened.

"He had 28 points in 25 minutes,'' said Mitchell. "For a 20-year-old in his second year in the NBA. We can build on that.''

Of course, much of that production came with LaVine playing shooting guard. Playing there in the fourth quarter with veteran Andrew Miller at the point, LaVine scored 15 points in 12 minutes as the Wolves rallied from 21 down to within five.
