Speaking last week after the Timberwolves completed their in-market group workouts, the first time the team was together for any length of time since March, President Gersson Rosas discussed how he viewed the concept of drafting for need on a roster.
Rosas’ words were notable because he said, essentially, there’s no such thing.
“Needs have to be addressed in free agency and trades,” Rosas said. “With draft guys it’s a development process. You want it to be right away, but the reality is it’s a two, three, four-year process. So it’s not fair for me to tell coach [Ryan Saunders], ‘Hey, we need this, we’re going to get it in the draft.
