In Monday night’s win over the Clippers, the Wolves’ starting lineup looked a little different. Dario Saric, who had come off the bench for the Wolves since being acquired in a trade, took the floor with the first unit while Taj Gibson came off the bench.
Making changes to a team’s starting lineup can be a fraught decision. Feelings can be hurt. However, the early returns on Saric’s move to the first unit seems to have happened without any ruffled feathers and the early on court returns look very promising. He finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes.
