Nearly half of the Minnesota Timberwolves' roster privately expressed concerns about Sam Mitchell.

The concerns are Mitchell's "outdated offensive system, his tendency to platoon his rotations and a lack of personal accountability for the struggles."

Kevin Garnett was asked about the criticism Mitchell has received and he declined to comment, passing on a chance to defend his former teammate.

Mitchell said he can't be concerned with his job status.

"It's bigger than me. And I learned that a long time ago," Mitchell said. "It may turn out that I'm here to see it (through). But it may turn out I'm not. The people in this league know there's a certain way we have to do this."

The Wolves recently came out of a 1-13 stretch.
