Wolves are looking for a leader

” We had never been in such a situation, with a veteran who does this kind of thing. The “veteran” referred to by Jaylen Nowell last spring is none other than Patrick Beverley, who has obviously had a positive influence on the young Wolves.

Today, the point guard is no longer there and the Minnesota franchise is looking for new voices to carry in the locker room. ” Leadership is essential when it comes to winning. We are not excellent in this area. We try to find a voice collectively, to find an identity as a team. These are things on which we must continue to work, to try to cultivate collectively. It’s my job “recalls Chris Finch quoted by the Star Tribune.

The technician considers that some players may have ” the makings of a leader, but they may not be ready to express it, so we have to try to push them to do so “. He may be aiming for Anthony Edwards who, since the injury of Karl-Anthony Towns, seems to want to express himself more but remains one of the youngest players in the squad.

For Chris Finch, there are a million different ways to show that leadership. ” But all leaders have one thing in common: people follow them. “Alongside Edwards, the team can still rely on several experienced players, such as Austin Rivers, Taurean Prince (whose vocal qualities have already been praised) or Kyle Anderson, moreover cited all the three from behind when it comes to speaking.

Rudy Gobert wants to lead by example

The other potential great leader of the team is none other than Rudy Gobert. ” I use my voice, but I think sometimes talking too much is useless. So I try to lead by example and understand that I have to improve first. It’s not just about basketball, it’s about being pro in general “, posted a few days ago the French.

The concern for him is that he hasn’t shone in leadership with his recent trip over Kenrich Williams…” It was just frustration. Players talk, it’s part of the game. Sometimes you might think it’s disrespectful, but I gotta be smarter than that (not to) penalize my team, penalize myself “, blamed the triple defender of the year.

This kind of gesture is obviously not at all in his nature but he is aware of having to be even more exemplary within his new and young team. ” I always have to be the smartest person, especially as the leader of this team. As an older player too, I have to behave better. “It is all the more necessary today within a team with a still negative balance sheet and which has just lost four games out of five.
