Wolves Could Have Problems Rationing Minutes

For a team coming off of just 16 wins a season ago, Timberwolves interim head coach Sam Mitchell could face some tough decisions about who will play for them this upcoming season.

Getting to 15 players on the roster won’t necessarily be the hard part; it will be parceling out minutes to those who remain.

The Wolves now have 17 players on their roster and must cut to 15 by the beginning of the upcoming season. Assuming the team doesn’t make any more roster moves before the season begins, the two likeliest cuts are Damjan Rudez, a one-dimensional forward the team received in trade for Chase Budinger, and Lorenzo Brown, who has a partially-guaranteed contract.
