When Mike Conley first joined the Timberwolves after the trade deadline in February, he didn't look to score all that much. In his third game with the Wolves, for instance, Conley took just six shots and didn't hit any.
Around that time, he and coach Chris Finch had a talk, and Finch told Conley that the Wolves wanted his role to be different than it had been in Utah. Finch wanted Conley to seek opportunities to score, because they helped keep defenses honest and would open things up for players like Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.
It was a task Conley was happy to tackle after years of being just a facilitator and spot-up shooter in Utah.
