Hall of Famer Rudy Tomjanovich to join Timberwolves staff as consultant

As they opened group workouts at training camp Sunday, the Timberwolves announced a list of staff changes, with one name standing out: Rudy Tomjanovich.

The former Rockets player and coach, who was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020, joined the Wolves staff as a player personnel consultant.

Coach Ryan Saunders said the Wolves have been consulting with Tomjanovich since before last month’s draft.

“It’s been fantastic … He has a lot of unique perspectives,” Saunders said. “That’s what we appreciate and we value here. Even though he coached a while back, he was doing a lot of modern things offensively and defensively during his coaching tenure that we’re ahead of the times.
