STrib: Wolves basketball boss believes he has built a winner
"Right now we're at five," Rosas said.
Towns, Russell, Edwards, McDaniels and Malik Beasley.
"That's a lot better than we were two years ago …" Rosas said. "You can criticize any of our guys who have underperformed and that's fair because our record is what it is, but … those are team-building pieces that are very hard to acquire."
The Wolves might be able to acquire another one in the draft, if the pingpong balls go their way again. Their late-season surge cost them some odds of retaining a top-three pick, which would go to Golden State to complete the Russell trade from a year ago if it falls outside the top four.
"If we get the pick, there's a strategy in place there," Rosas said. "If we don't get the pick, there's a strategy in place there."
Howl Wolves!!
What comes next?
That segued into the next topic of conversation: Just where does the roster stand? Rosas said in order to be successful, a team has to have "seven, eight players you feel really good about" forming the foundation of the future."Right now we're at five," Rosas said.
