MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES QUOTES

You have to earn the right to shoot three’s, when I was in Toronto we had things that guys had to do on the day-to-day basis as part of practice if you were going to be allowed to shoot three’s. Just because you do those things, you still have to shoot a certain percentage in practice.

— Sam Mitchell

I’m definitely not the coach on the floor. I’ll leave that to the guards. But, I will say I’m the voice of the locker room.

— Kevin Garnett, when asked if he is the coach on the floor

I love the Jimmer. I think he’s a great player. He’s the type of player, I think, who can come in and have a good impact at this level. He’s a guy I admire. I was mentioning players that play the game extremely hard, and he’s one of them. He brings it every night. I think he can make a big impact. A lot of people have compared him to a young Stephen Curry and that’s a pretty good comparison. Steph has had a lot of success in this league and he’s determined to become a better player. I think with Jimmer, it’s the same way.

— Kevin Love
