But he had to trade multiple core players on Minnesota’s roster to get Gobert, the three-...26845Wed, 13 Jul 2022 14:00:57 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-offer-gobert-something-he-never-had-in-utah-r26840/Rudy Gobert‘s playoff performances live in infamy. Collapse after collapse left Gobert sitting in the wake of a Utah Jazz roster that could never reach the Western Conference Finals.

The Memphis Grizzlies often made him a facilitator first, and when he had to get up shots, they were often heavily contested. Luckily, the Wolves have acquired Rudy Gobert, who has accumulated the most screen assists over the past six years.

One night, the Minnesota Timberwolves would get 20/5/5 from Russell and the next 5/5/2 on horrible shooting splits. But when he was on his game and going deep in his bag, he elevated the team to another le...26821Sun, 26 Jun 2022 07:30:21 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-happened-to-the-wolves-in-the-years-they-picked-outside-the-lottery-r26819/We’re experiencing a rare occurrence on Thursday night during the NBA Draft.

With his late Aug. 5th, 2001 birthday, Edwards is still younger than some players in last year’s draft class. For example, Edwards i...26812Sat, 18 Jun 2022 07:30:46 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-timberwolves-should-bring-amir-coffey-home-r26810/The NBA Finals are winding down, the draft is just around the corner, and free agency is on the horizon.

They already return a lot of the roster that made the 7-seed and can take some risk on a prospect they have a lot of interest in. Lucky for them, there are intriguing prospects at multiple positions.

His slashing, defense, energy, and scoring upside would be a perfect addition as a wing/forward on this roster.

Seven years ago, a role player who shot 0-7 from the three would be benched. But in the 3-point era Stephen Curry ushered in from Davidson, coaches don’t reign your shooters in as often. Instead, coaches let them shoot out of their slump.
