Finch talks about Belanger, the 17th overall pick: He plays tough and fearless and has a keen sense of the game.

October 8th: Recently, Timberwolves coach Finch talked about No. 17 pick Joao Belanger in an interview.

Talking about Belanger, Finch said: "First of all, I think being fearless clearly reflects his toughness. You have to know that he has just entered a league of adult men, a league of all professional players, and all kinds of high-intensity confrontations and emergencies are happening on the field every moment. In this environment, it is easy to be fearful and sometimes overly awe of other players. But as soon as he came, he rushed in without any scruples. I think he only has one style of playing—— It’s just this forward-moving attitude, which is great. "

"As we said before, he doesn't have those bad NBA habits. From that perspective, he's like a blank slate, so pure, which is ideal - because we can teach him what we want him to master without any interruption. And he has a group of extremely good professional players surrounding him, and I know that will be a big help for his development. But more importantly, he has an extremely keen sense of the game. He is not afraid of critical moments or the pressure of the NBA environment. "
