Defensive game plan personnel mistakes… I wonder if any other Timberwolf has been routinely making these mistakes this season?

[Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA]

Chris Finch was asked about why Josh Minott has been removed from the rotation in recent games, and he said, “His activity offensively has been great. We’ve got to get him back in the rotation. But his defense has just been trending the wrong way, particularly game plan personnel mistakes and fouling. Those are inexcusable ones.”

The last game Minott played in was against New York. I asked Finch before that New York game (video below) if Minott was going to be part of the solution for replacing DiVincenzo’s minutes, and he said Minott would be in the rotation “for sure”.

So that leads me to believe these game plan personnel mistakes happened in that New York game. This play happened during his final minutes of that game — he does clearly lose track of Bridges (though, I will say, it did look like Bridges was checked out from the possession with his hands in his hips — nice bluff if it was).

I didn’t see anything else egregious in the Wolves’ defensive possessions when Minott was out there during that final stint. Though I did notice Minott was pulled abruptly a few minutes after this possession — and exactly one possession after Rob Dillingham checked in.

So my working theory here is basically that Finch doesn’t want to play Minott and Dillingham at the same time.

I go back to the clip below from before the Knicks game, where Finch said Dillingham was going to get an opportunity and that Minott was going to be in the rotation for sure. My guess would be that Finch liked what he saw from Dillingham in that opportunity against New York, and then going forward made a decision, perhaps with some clarity on DDV’s injury, to lean into Dillingham the next few games (18 minutes against CLE, 18 against MEM) at the expense of Minott’s playing time — because it was hard for him to play them both but not at the same time.

@Abdi95280721 Cause Finch has done that all season and has a repeated history of not giving young players chances, Minott is another example
