The Timberwolves' Big Three keeps proving itself, through remarkable regular-season improvement, a comeback play-in victory over the Clippers and Saturday's powerhouse playoff victory over the second-seeded Grizzlies.
Anthony Edwards is becoming a superstar.
Karl-Anthony Towns is fulfilling his long-promised promise.
The other member of the Big Three is acing these tests, as well.
It's not D'Angelo Russell, although he fits in well in Minnesota because he can run the offense and shoot, is friends with Towns and isn't Andrew Wiggins.
It's not Jaden McDaniels, although he might be on the way to stardom. Saturday, he produced 15 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks and a game-best plus-19 in just 25 minutes.
