What coaches and players say about roles, minutes, gameplans and development.
Cade Cunningham could play more off the ball in some games while keeping the same touches.
โI think there's times in games, depending on teams, how they're defending us and how they're defending him, that we could do more with him off the ball and allow him, you know, to hide a little bit more and then come to the action. And still get the same amount of touches and usage for them. And I think it's important that we diversify that for them.โ

โWe would hope to get most of our starters out there for 2 of the 4 games.โ
Yaxel Lendeborg in line for significant minutes as a rookie, whether he starts or comes off the bench.
โWe're gonna throw him out there whether he's a starter or off the bench. He's going to play a ton and frankly he deserves it. You can see it whether it's summer league or pickup games or now the first couple days of camp. He's one of our best players already. 6'10, 7'4 wingspan. He can dribble, pass and shoot, defend multiple positions. So he's a very important player for us.โ
The Timberwolves plan to build their offense around the LaMelo Ball and Rudy Gobert pick-and-roll with Ball initiating early.
โWe feel that the LaMelo-Rudy pick-and-roll could have the potential... will be one of the hardest things in the league to guard. So, you know, we need to lean into that.โ
Ausar Thompson will see an increase in minutes from last season.
โI definitely see his minutes going above 26.โ
