Each floor general provides a divergent subset of suitable skills. In a league dominated by ball handlers, such optionality can be crucial. Jeff Teague is a methodical...25952Fri, 01 Feb 2019 07:30:45 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/foul-trouble-is-the-only-thing-slowing-karl-anthony-towns-r25943/In 33 years since the NBA and ABA merged, no player has committed a personal foul … if you ask them. It’s become so commonplace for both competitors and their coaches to challenge a referee’s whistle — almost every single one of a referee’s whistles — that countermeasures have been taken to ensur...25943Mon, 14 Jan 2019 08:36:14 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/for-ryan-saunders-and-andrew-wiggins-%E2%80%98keeping-that-same-energy-is-adjustment-no-1-r25939/After drawing a foul on what could, really, only be described as an angry attack of the basket, Andrew Wiggins removed himself from the fray and walked towards the perimeter before stepping to the free-throw line. He was alone and staring into the distance when a camera grabbed a glimpse of Wiggin...25939Wed, 09 Jan 2019 08:43:26 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/five-fun-timberwolves-things-at-the-turn-of-a-new-year-r25931/For the Minnesota Timberwolves, 2018 was both constructive and confounding. First, the franchise sent a pair of players to the All-Star game in Los Angeles. Then, they finally made a playoff appearance. In that opening-round series against the Houston Rockets, they won Game 3 at home – inspiring...25931Mon, 31 Dec 2018 06:30:03 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-to-maximize-karl-anthony-towns-post-touches-r25928/Take your eyes off of Karl-Anthony Towns – who possesses the ball in the post – and watch how the rest of the Minnesota Timberwolves offense functions when their most potent threat works one-on-one against his defender. Now, take your eyes off of center Nikola Jokic – who possesses the ball in...25928Tue, 25 Dec 2018 11:48:45 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/four-observations-from-the-timberwolves-last-five-games-r25925/After losing to Portland, Golden State, Sacramento and Phoenix in one fell swoop last week, the Wolves returned home and found their footing in a rematch against the Kings on Monday. Let’s take a closer look at four highlights — and lowlights — from this team’s last week of action. Josh Okogie: C...25925Wed, 19 Dec 2018 08:21:46 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/transition-defense-is-becoming-a-plus-for-the-wolves-r25918/When Jimmy Butler’s trade demand went public in September, Andrew Wiggins’ brother used social media to express some sort of relief: “Hallelujah” is all he said, presumably on behalf of his sibling. Almost immediately, Butler quipped back with an Instagram post of his own in which he directed Wigg...25918Thu, 06 Dec 2018 08:50:50 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/johnson-tyus-jones-is-playing-for-a-new-deal-r25912/When the Timberwolves traded for Tyus Jones on draft night in 2015, it just seemed like a nice story. Then Wolves boss, Flip Saunders, had already selected the year’s prized possession, Karl-Anthony Towns. He then traded two second-round picks for Jones, whom the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted 24th...25912Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:18:27 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/johnson-the-timberwolves-need-to-let-dario-%C5%A1ari%C4%87-breathe-r25908/When Jimmy Butler being traded became an inevitability, the most pressing question facing the Minnesota Timberwolves was about what sort of return they could fetch. Would the powers that be pursue a package that fortifies their future – like the reported offer including four first-round picks – or...25908Wed, 14 Nov 2018 06:00:35 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/karl-anthony-towns-and-the-wolves-second-unit-r25902/“General soreness” was the reason announced for Jimmy Butler’s sudden absence from Wednesday’s game against the Utah Jazz. Following Sunday night’s enveloping defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers, it would be an apropos title for the Wolves’ season to date. Of the team’s first 10 games, seven ha...25902Mon, 05 Nov 2018 08:40:27 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/brandon-%E2%80%9Chood%E2%80%9D-caicedo-is-t-wolves-gamings-inaugural-star-r25899/Brandon Caicedo averaged 29.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game last season.
