Boom again and now he's with the Wolves. It's a franchise he studied when he came out of Villanova, a team he was considering as a free agent. The Towns trade means Finch is tasked with building cohesion within his changed core, but his bench is longer with a starting-caliber player in DiVincenzo.

It's possible that DiVincenzo would have developed into the all-around player he is today had he stayed with one organization. But he sounded grateful to have a little NBA tour.

“I think that’s why I’m here today,” he said. “If you stay with a team in this situation, you develop within that organization, within that system, whatever the role is. In every team I went to, I had a different role. And with every team I've gone to, I've expanded that role. For me it’s just about continuing to work behind closed doors and whatever that role is or whatever opportunity comes along, taking full advantage of it.”

DiVincenzo sees another possible step in his development as moving further forward in the title hunt. The wolves also want to take this step. It seems like everyone can help each other.

“I went from a team that was one game away from the Eastern Conference finals to a team that was a game or two away from making the finals,” he said. “I don’t think it’s going to get any better.”
