Kahn claims the Wolve are or should be in the player development business. I wonder what the player development plans look like for each of the Wolves key pieces this off season?
Jefferson: Knee recovery, better shape, post defense, passing out of double teams, range on his jump shot;
Love: Better shape, range on his jump shot, post moves, "KNEE INJURY PREVENTION";
Flynn: Range on his jump shot, other?;
Rubio: jump shot, strength training
Brewer: Range on his jump shot, ball handling
Ellington: defense, ball handling, other?
Gomes: better shape, 3 point percentage, defense

Re: Wolves Player Development Plan
Gomes shot pretty well from long distance last year. I wouldn't mind seeing him become a better ball handler though.
I think it's pretty simple. Everyone needs to improve all aspects of their game. The things you hit on, naturally, will be focal points.

Re: Wolves Player Development Plan
consistency is key for Gomes. In my experience playing and coaching consistency can either be a confidence or conditioning issue.

Re: Wolves Player Development Plan
i'd like Telfair to learn to be a bit more of a pest on defense. He's never going to be a great defender, but he could become that Iverson type who just harasses everyone on the court and just makes a few steals and maybe can pressure the ball full court now that he won't be playing 30+ min a game

Re: Wolves Player Development Plan
Weight training for Brewer could probably be added. He's gotta get strong enough to stay in front of the Lebrons. 110 lbs wont stop 275

Re: Wolves Player Development Plan
Last year we were very excited about starting the season with 3 40% 3pt shooters - Foye, Miller, Mccants. All of them are gone. Do you guys think Gomes could be our 1st option now?

Re: Wolves Player Development Plan
^ Depends on who else we sign or trade for this offseason. I would be worried if Gomes was the first option.
Rubio and Brewer need to hit the gym. The whole squad needs to work on defense.
