With Russell being 24 and Beasley being 23, it’s hard not to think about how good these two can be if they continue to improve, which they certainly will.
It’s not all peaches and cream here, I know. Just because we are Timberwolves.com doesn’t mean we are blinded by positivity. The Timberwolves are 1-5 since the trade deadline. Towns’ absence plays into that, as does the fact that the Wolves have gone through the gauntlet of the Raptors, Celtics, Nuggets and Mavericks – three homecourt advantage teams and one trying to get there.
Defensively, this unit has to improve.
