An early look at Flip Saunders' NBA draft strategy

Wolves President/head coach Flip Saunders met with the media for 30 minutes on Monday to help tie up loose ends on a season that didn’t go as planned for Minnesota — until it did.

Saunders used his opening statement to talk at length about how he thought the team had a good mix of veterans and young players at the start of the year — a group he hoped would compete for a playoff spot — before injuries derailed the season. At that point, he and the Wolves had a decision: keep playing some of the non-injured veterans or go with a wholesale development movement.
