Chris Finch Continues to Signal Expanded Timberwolves Rotation | Plus, Jaden McDaniels's Playmaking
Coach Finch expects an eight-to-nine man rotation with limited minutes available for other players competing for 15 to 20 minutes per game, emphasizing performance and matchups.
- On Monday, Chris Finch outlined Minnesota Timberwolves' broad rotational decisions and said he expects an eight-to-nine man rotation when the regular season begins.
- With a presumed top-eight core including Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, Mike Conley, Reid, DiVincenzo and Terrence Shannon Jr., only a small batch of inconsistent minutes remain for others.
- Competing for minutes are Joan Beringer, Rob Dillingham, Jaylen Clark and possibly Bones Hyland for the remaining 15 to 20 minutes, depending on matchups and camp performance.
- Finch warned players competing for rotation spots they must stay ready and focused, as camp weeks remaining mean one injury could upend the rotation.
- Asked about replacing Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Finch pointed to Terrence Shannon Jr. and noted last year the rotation was upended when Karl-Anthony Towns was traded and Alexander-Walker left.
