On one hand, the Timberwolves have one of the more electrifying players in the league in Anthony Edwards. On the other, they have a duo of big men in Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert who did not work together last season. In what Bill Simmons has labeled as new owner syndrome, the new ownership group wanted to make a splash and mortgaged the team’s future in an attempt to cut corners and catapult the team into title contention.
To say they’ve fallen short is an understatement. The offense is clunky and both KAT and Gobert look better when the other is off the court.
