Wolves cut two players, set to hire assistant coach strictly for player development

The Wolves on Tuesday released Alonzo Gee and Jack McClinton to get their roster to 16 players and had former Timberwolves guard Chris Carr at practice to audition for a sixth assistant coaching job that will devoted exclusively to developing players.
Carr is the latest in a list of seven or eight coaches — former Wolves Darrick Martin and Tony Campbell have already been in — being interviewed and brought to practice for a day’s work for a position Kurt Rambis hopes to hire by the regular-season opener.
That coach solely will be responsible for working with players of every position at home and on the road, anytime day or night, on a course David Kahn set last summer when he said he had an “epiphany” that the Wolves can become the league leaders in making the players they already have better.
Neither Gee nor McClinton played in Sunday night’s preseason opener against the Bucks.
