As well as they were playing before center Al Jefferson went down with a season-ending knee injury in early February, this isn’t a team that’s a player away from making the jump to championship contender.
“We need help in every way, shape and form,” Kahn said. “We need length, we need perimeter shooting, we need guard play. There’s a lot of things that we need. In one level, and I hope this comes across the right way, I think for us perhaps the draft is a little bit easier than it is for other teams. We have some holes that need to be filled.”
Kahn said after the morning workouts that he’s willing to listen to trade offers for any of the choices, including the sixth overall selection.
“You never say never to anything,” he said. “We would listen to anything, of course. But by the same token, I’m not out there on the phone shopping them. It’s a little early for that still.”
Talking points: The Wolves are scheduled to have 12 more players in for workouts today, including a couple of quality point guards in Wake Forest’s Jeff Teague and Virginia Commonwealth’s Eric Maynor.
