Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman believes Brad Miller’s presence will benefit All-Star forward Kevin Love who, while leading the league in rebounding, averaged just 2.5 assists per game last season.
"There is no way he should average two or three assists a game," Adelman said. "I'm sorry, that should be up. This whole team is that way, though. They have to learn to share the ball and make the extra pass."

"He told me, 'Your points might go up and down, your rebounds might go up and down, but the one thing I want to go up and only up is your assists,'" Love said. "I told him I can do that."

So far this season the opposite happened. Love's FG attempt and point is up. His turnover is up but his assist is down.
The way i look at it. No high post passer= no Adelman system. The backdoor cuts and the corner set with the 2 guard screen is a stable of Adelman's offense. All of that require a high post passer. So what happened to the Kevin Love experiment as a facilitator?
