The expectations set in place for the Minnesota Timberwolves heading into the 2016-17 season were pretty freaking high. And there were valid reasons behind those expectations.
This group is loaded with talent — we all know that by now. Quite frankly, I have no doubt in my mind that this team can make a deep run in the playoffs in the near future.
But this season, the team is simply not ready to compete consistently at a high level. They show flashes of brilliance that foreshadow a promising future before falling apart at the seams shortly after.
