"Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis says it isn't so, but Jonny Flynn recognizes how the team's offense has evolved from the more regimented one that he led in April.

Flynn struggled often in his rookie season with a complex passing system unlike any he had played in before. On Tuesday, he made his season debut after July hip surgery caused him to miss the season's first seven weeks. While he watched from the sidelines, Flynn says, he saw how Rambis has adjusted to a team clearly more talented than last season's 15-victory team.

"Not a knock on the team last year, but when you have players like we have now, a coach like Kurt Rambis is going to adapt, he's going to keep his ways but also kind of find ways that everybody else can get involved," Flynn said. "I think he's done a great job, as you can see from the numbers K-Love [Kevin Love] and [Michael] Beasley and the rest of the guys are putting up."

Flynn sees more freedom for players to be themselves. The Wolves appear to have added the traditional pick-and-roll play more to their early offense and have created more isolation opportunities for a player like Beasley to create.

"There's nothing along those lines that we weren't doing last year," Rambis said. "Some little adjustments have been made since he has been out, but the foundation of it is the same."

Still, Flynn says he sees the changes.

"There's more pick-and-rolls, more situations coming off screens and just playing," he said. "I think the offense has definitely evolved, and as we stay and grow together you're going to see him to put in a lot more wrinkles.""
