Zach LaVine came back for his second NBA season looking more muscularly defined and stronger.
He seems to have brought his shot, too.
The Wolves scrimmaged at the end of Thursday's Day 3 of training camp and LaVine impressed, at least the last part when Sam Mitchell let in media to watch when it seemed like he didn't miss a shot.
"He missed a few early," Mitchell said. "I tell you what, when he gets it going, he gets it going."
Pal Andrew Wiggins said, "He probably went for like 40 just now," only partly exaggerating.
Mitchell has begun installing offensive sets after focusing heavily on defense these first three days of camp.
"We're trying to play pass, screen, cut, play with flow," Mitchell said. "We're encouraging our guys that if you catch the ball in flow and rhythm and you're open, shoot the ball. Zach is a very good catch-and-shoot guy. Guys did a good job finding him. He happened to be open because we're setting screens and moving."
Mitchell has set forth developing of his team's young players as the priority this season and you get the impression that could include starting LaVine over veteran Kevin Martin sooner rather later.
