His first season back as coach now behind him and presumably his second already fast approaching with draft preparations, the Timberwolves’ Flip Saunders wants his young team to improve its defense, its ball-handling, its individual players’ strength.
And for those fans who remain fairly certain that a three-point shot is worth more than a two-pointer, yes, he wants a team that ranked last in the league in three-pointers made (5.0 per game) and attempted (14.9) to get better in that area.
“That’s something we really have to improve on,” Saunders said at a season-ending news conference Monday.
