While the Minnesota Timberwolves may not have performed in the 2022-23 NBA season in a way that matched high expectations, there certainly were numerous individual performances that stood out. But there is a bias among NBA fans, which bleeds over to NBA pundits and analysts, that tends to diminish the performances of NBA stars in the league based on the performance of the team.
So it is that the underwhelming season for the Minnesota Timberwolves has led to underwhelming recognition for the players. That’s disappointing, as we had already shown that Timberwolves star shooting guard Anthony Edwards was a thorn in the side of the Denver Nuggets throughout their best-of-seven series in Round 1 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
