I appreciate all the attention the Timberwolves are getting, but can we please stop putting potential players in Malik Sealy’s #2?
Yesterday marked 26 years since he was taken from this world by a drunk driver.
That number is not available.
A lot of 27-33 year old men trying to be Anthony Bourdain. Cowardly.

What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families — and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on what our values truly are. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with the families of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
I stand with the people of Minnesota.
I'm seeing *a lot* of Anthony Edwards criticism today, and I'd love to offer some perspective for the "Can't Man" crowd...
First off, it is 100% fair to say Ant has been outplayed in consecutive WCF series by SGA, Luka and even Kyrie.
I think Ant can learn a lot from those three guys -- specifically about how important it is to have a reliable mid-range game. Defense taking away threes? Clogging the lane and gaps to prevent drives? Cool... SGA, Luka and Kyrie are all excellent at knocking down contested mid-range shots over packed defenses.
SGA, for example = 50% mid-range shooter. Ant = 35% (and trending down from last year).
Now for some perspective...
Anthony Edwards has led the Wolves to back-to-back WCF appearances at ages 22 and 23.
Steph Curry didn’t reach a WCF until age 26 (won title). His first MVP came at age 26.
Giannis didn't reach his first ECF until age 24. First MVP at 24. First title at 26.
Nikola Jokic reached first WCF at 24. First MVP at 25. First title at 27.
Hell, LeBron didn’t make his 2nd ECF until 24! (in fairness he went to Finals at 22). First MVP at 24. First title at 27.
Ant needs to get better at certain things -- mid-range game, ball-handling, solving these defenses. But he is absolutely "on schedule," maybe even ahead of schedule.
