Tim Connelly Connection With Trey Lyles Gave The Wolves Another Power Forward

When the Timberwolves were short on power forwards this summer, president of basketball operations Tim Connelly reached out to Trey Lyles, who had been playing in Spain, per Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. Connelly developed trust in Lyles during their time together in Denver, and he’s become a valuable reserve after the team was able to add Jonathan Kuminga. “I don’t want to say it’s easy, but I

think (it’s) just my adaptability,” Lyles said. “Being able to adapt to different situations has always helped me in my career. So I think this just goes to show another situation where I’m able to do that.”
