Does Tom Thibodeau expect the rookies — Josh Okogie and Keita Bates-Diop — to develop this season while rarely getting off the bench? I’m starting to think that game reps don’t matter much to him when it comes to end of bench youngsters. This is what Thibs offered up to media members in regards to his rotation:
Thibodeau said the Wolves have to “settle in to a 9-man rotation” and that Josh Okogie is not in that rotation but that he “has to stay ready.”
I’d assume the rotation is the same as the opener.
