Kevin Garnett's role with Timberwolves uncertain

As of Sunday evening, Kevin Garnett's role within the Timberwolves' front office is uncertain. Given his lack of front office experience, the Hall of Famer isn't likely to make any basketball decisions, but could offer expertise on rotation, player personnel and other aspects of the game.

Garnett could step into a player development role for Minnesota, a common role among retired NBA players. Recently, four-time All-Star Kemba Walker, who retired during the offseason, joined the Charlotte Hornets as a player enhancement coach just one day after retiring. Walker spent eight seasons in Charlotte before returning as a coach.

This role could be perfect for someone like Kevin Garnett, giving him the opportunity to work with Anthony Edwards, Rob Dillingham and Minnesota's other young stars. He could also serve as a prospect scout, helping find draft candidates for the Timberwolves during the season.
