I need Finch and Co to work on zone busting all summer and implementing an actual offense.

Finch had a good zone break when we had KA and Towns.

Randle is pretty **** at breaking the zone. Naz is better than Randle at breaking the zone in the middle.

I don't know why we don't run a basic handoff with Gobert. Have him at the FT, give him a high entry pass, have Ant and McDaniels run across from him as a handoff forming an X, but just make it a tight handoff to one of the two of them and the other curls out, with the handoff having body to body contact.

Tons of college coaches run that exact play.

Think Town actually used that play a lot except he could pass so no need for the body to body contact.

A warm hug from Josh Minott: the one who couldn't set foot on the parquet according to the professor...
"...I want to compliment him, we all expected that he would take up the game, we have prepared the plan race on him, we have doubled. And, as usual, he did what he wanted..."

To be fair it was only 11 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 stocks in 32 minutes. That is hardly up to our standards.

Finch is stubborn at times. When things goes wrong, he looks like he don't wanna change things or try new things. it's frustrating. Tonight he wait way too long letting the same 5 who were playing zero defense in the 3rd.

I don't know if it is on Finch, but not one single draft pick after 2020 has become a real difference maker for the Wolves. Seems to me that the overall team talent level is regressing. Finch may be part of the problem but the Wolves need to be better at drafting/player development or they will be sunk.
