lost two straight! Faced with the Grizzlies, who are also dominated by young players, the Timberwolves still swallowed two defeats. I really can’t understand. Minnesota’s talent has always been the top of the league, but why are they always weak?
Since the 04-05 season, the Timberwolves have been lingering outside the gates of the playoffs. For 15 years, they have only scored once in the playoffs under the leadership of Butler, and then a long rebuild. Last season, under the leadership of 2 champions, Downs, and Wiggins, they only achieved a record of 19 wins and 45 losses, with a win rate of less than 30%. Fortunately, they won another champion and selected from Georgia University genius Edwards, a beast type guard who averaged 19.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in the NCAA.
As a result, the Timberwolves once again have a double champion. Not only that, but there are also two helpers who average 20+ per game:
D'Angelo Russell. This is the hope of the Lakers and the core of the Nets. An all-star point guard who averaged 21.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game;
Malik- Beasley , Beasley is an underrated scorer. In the 18-19 season, he was the best per possession. The jumper scored, second only to Stephen Curry, ranked second in the league. Last season, after being traded to the Timberwolves, Beasley began to explode, averaging 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and shooting 47%. 43%, averaging 3.5 three-pointers per game, which is quite terrifying.
plus the all-around center Downs, who averaged 26 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game, the Timberwolves is a talented lineup that ranks among the top in the league and can even hit the first position. Don’t forget, behind them. There is also Jarrett Culver. This is the No. 6 show last year. He is a 1.98-meter forward swingman.
But even so, facing the Grizzlies, who are also young players, the Timberwolves are far behind the former in all aspects. It seems that their new season will not bring us many surprises.
The core problem of the Timberwolves is that the management is too mediocre. They can’t see the flaws in their lineup. Look at the 76ers . Although the transactions in the past few years have attracted many questions, from Harris to Horford, but One thing can prove that the 76ers’ management refuses to waste their talents. At least they are trying various changes. In addition, there is news that the 76ers are discussing the Harden deal with the Rockets. In my opinion, The Timberwolves are the team that needs Harden the most.
The Timberwolves have a lot of talents, but you see these people, none of them can be called the cornerstone of the team, even Downs, who has the best data, is not eligible. If the Timberwolves can break into pieces and get Harden with all their strength, then The combination of the latter and Towns can bring this team into the playoffs, or even further.
