It wouldn&#8217;t shock a lot of people close to Taylor if he named Wolves assistant general manager Fred Hoiberg to the job. The word in NBA circles is that if it&#8217;s an outsider, it will be Tom Penn, the assistant general manager for the Portland Trail Blazers.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nbadraft.net\/node\/5625\">Aran Smith\/NBADraft.net <\/a>interviews Reebok Eurocamp Director and Timberwolves International Scouting Director Pete Philo<\/div>\n<div><em>NBADraft.net: Last year you drafted Nikola Pekovic of Partizan. He is now playing in Panithinaikos having an outstanding season. He was basically the main guy at the final 4 in Berlin in which the coaching staff of each team had to prepare for and around. The Timberwolves have his draft rights. You picked him, that must be a good feeling knowing you got a steal as well as a very talented center for the future of the Wolves.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><em>Pete Philo: Nikola is a very good basketball player. Yes he was very instrumental in how the coaches prepared for the games as he was basically unstoppable with single coverage. However, I cannot take full credit for drafting him.
