To oversimplify the improvement of the Timberwolves backcourt, LaMelo Ball is a much better point guard than Anthony Edwards, and Anthony Edwards is a much better shooting guard than Donte DiVincenzo.
The Timberwolves have been sitting on the best off ball scoring guard in the league, and they finally have a point guard that allows him to play his natural position. This is going to be a fun year.
LaMelo Ball (25)
Anthony Edwards (25)
Jaden McDaniels (26)
Jonathan Kuminga (24)
Rudy Gobert (34)
Ayo Dosunmu (26)
TJ Shannon (26)
Bones Hyland (26)
Joan Beringer (20)
This is gonna be fun
BREAKING:
The NBA has now traded Paul George for:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Jaylen Brown
Domantas Sabonis
Victor Oladipo
Danilo Gallinari
And
7 1st round picks plus 4 pick swaps
Paul George is the Most Valuable Player in NBA history.
As it currently stands, Minnesota would have a ton of size in its starting lineup.
PG: LaMelo — 6’7”
SG: Ant — 6’4”
SF: Jaden — 6’10”
PF: TBD — Likely 6’7”-6’10” range
C: Rudy? — 7’1”
That’s a lot of length. I’d like to see them add a physical PF who can handle the bigger guys.
The best part of this deal for the Timberwolves is that they kept Rudy Gobert
Offensive anchors:
- LaMelo Ball & Anthony Edwards
Defensive anchors:
- Rudy Gobert & Jaden McDaniels
What a great move
