Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Tim Connelly, the Timberwolves new president of basketball operations. As Connelly ramps up for the draft and free agency, the conversation touches on an array of topics. — Does Denver having the 21st and the Wolves having the 19th pick make the first round selection process easier? — What will the war room environment look like on draft night? — In what ways will having experience in a lead executive role help avoid mistakes? — What are Connelly’s areas of expertise (outside of scouting)? — Perception of Anthony Edwards from afar, and how has that perception evolved now as a part of the organization? — Have you seen Ant and Juancho Hernangomez’s new movie Hustle? — How can this team address size and physicality this offseason? External growth versus internal growth? — Can Karl-Anthony Towns play power forward next season, next to another more traditional center?
