Barton Joins Wolves to Develop Young Stars | NBA News
Description
Tim Connelly’s latest move brings back a familiar face: veteran Will Barton, who’ll join the Timberwolves’ coaching staff for the 2026-27 season to focus on player development. Their deep-rooted connection — dating back to eighth grade and cemented through years in Denver — underscores Connelly’s signature strategy of building tight-knit, trusted relationships within the organization. Barton’s firsthand experience playing alongside high-volume scorers, plus his recent G League and Summer League coaching roles, positions him perfectly to guide young stars like LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards. This move isn’t just about adding talent — it’s about leveraging proven chemistry to unlock championship potential.
