My prediction is that Connelly looks to upgrade at point guard. Mike Conley is in the final stage of his career. Rob Dillingham is at the beginning. The rookie is blessed with some special traits, specifically his speed, but he’s still largely unknown on a team that views itself as a championship contender. A proven, experienced point guard could be that missing piece.
Connelly mentioned having already held planning meetings for the future since season’s end. He also noted that plans are only as solid as the next phone call from a GM proposing an attractive trade.
“I think the best plan is to have a pretty good lay of the land,” he said, “and when you have an opportunity to be aggressive, be aggressive. I don’t think you can be too dogmatic with roster building because you get a call, it changes dramatically. And again, the more good players you have, the more good problems you have.”
In other words, buckle up Wolves fans.
