Development of Young Players

Investing in the youth on this roster and helping each of them develop their game should be the number one goal for the Wolves this season, and training camp is an important time for that to occur.

The headliner here will be sixth overall pick Jarrett Culver who seems to be a moldable lump of clay that Minnesota’s coaching staff is eager to work with.

Culver showed that he has the potential to be a true three-and-D wing during his two years at Texas Tech, and his work as the number one ball-handler on a national runner-up team shows that he could be even more than that at the next level.
