And those lost draft picks certainly contributed to the end of our playoff runs along with poor decisions on coaching, GM and drafting. If I'm grading him it would have to be a "D". Hindsight is always 20/20...but, I think looking back at what we had in KG, it would have been nice to surround him with a better supporting cast. Look at what happened once we finally got Cassell and Spree. Hopefully he learns from that mistake and will get some guys to help Towns/Wiggins/LaVine.
Even during that era... there were screams for the Wolves to bring in a Marbury/Cassell type guy. It didn't have to be a Grade A guy. Just a "closer"...
Granted, they're not necessarily easy to find either. But the Wolves didn't seem to know that was even the missing link...
