If two constant themes have emerged from the Timberwolves during Gersson Rosas’ first year as President, they are these: 1) The Wolves intend to be patient with their top-down and then bottom-up makeover, eschewing shortcuts or Band-aids to solve problems; 2) Among the biggest goals in Year 1 is to implement a new system and style of play so that as the team acquires more talent to fit that system, the centerpieces already here will be well-versed in playing that way.
Both of these seem like reasonable ideas that are in harmony with each other, but I would offer one philosophical caveat:
Sometimes a short-term answer can be a critical step to solving a long-term question.
