Let Them Play...

Mr. Kahn,
We get it...the Minnesota Timberwolves haven't had a legitimate bonafide point guard since...well, never. We had a grade school crush on Stephon Marbury, but like all crushes...we were the ones that got crushed in the end.

You spent your first ever draft with the Timberwolves accumulating every point guard you could get your hands on. And you know what...I don't even mind. In fact, I'm a little excited to see how it plays out (with or without Rubio).

The only request I have, is a line I'm stealing from the classic movie The Bad News Bears..."Let Them Play". Let the youngsters play and see how this thing shakes out.

I don't need you Mr. Kahn to go hire a coach that intends to slowly bring these kids along to teach them life lessons. Let them play. Let them play now...this franchise is over 20 years old with only one significant playoff run in its history. We may lose (actually we will lose a lot), but we the fans deserve to see the future on the court playing immediately. They shouldn't be getting spot time here and there like the last regime often did breaking in the rookies. Put them on the court and let's see what we got.

I am pretty disappointed that everyone is all up in arms about not filling other positions. After the trade with the Wizards, this team still has many, many holes to fill. Whatever happened to the logic that you take the best available player on the board? I'm not one to judge if Curry is better than Flynn or vice versa, but in an NBA draft, especially a well documented weaker draft class why would you make a stretch selection on a position of need rather than taking the best player available?
