Zach LaVine to be Wolves starting SG

[insidehoops]

Stating definitively what he has suggested about player development since he became the Timberwolves interim head coach, Sam Mitchell on Tuesday said he intends to start young Zach LaVine over veteran Kevin Martin this season. Mitchell told a visiting Sirius/XM NBA Radio crew that he “absolutely” plans to start LaVine at the team’s shooting-guard spot, with a caveat. “I tell him all the time that it’s not written in permanent ink, it’s pencil,” Mitchell told the radio network for whom he worked when he was between coaching jobs.

It's not a bad move...it should help with his confidence. plus having Kevin Martin off the bench isn't bad either.

hopefully the TWolves make some surprises this year...and still waiting for Wiggins to fill the shoes from all the hype he's had, OK so far nonetheless
