Minnesota Timberwolves: How might a new shot clock rule affect the Wolves?

In case you missed it, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported late in the week that the NBA’s Competition Committee is considering a rule change when it comes to the shot clock.

The 24-second shot clock currently resets all the way to 24 seconds after an offensive rebound. A rule change would dictate that the shot clock would only reset to 14 seconds, which would match a rule that has been in place in international competition for some time.

At first glance, it’s understandable to assume that this rule may have a substantial impact on play; it’s not uncommon for a game to have 10 or more offensive rebounds over the course of the 48 minutes.
