@Minnesota Timberwolves

Jaylen Nowell, Austin Rivers, Taurean Prince (who was good), Jordan McLaughlin, Bryn Forbes and Matt Ryan played 4878 minutes for the Timberwolves last season. That’s reason number one why they should be better — way better? — next season.

Prince and Nowell accounted for less than 50% of those minutes btw.

Remember how automatic the opponent run would be when Ant and Rudy checked out and Nowell and Forbes checked in? We lost so many leads. Now imagine those minutes being replaced by KAT, NAW, Shake Milton and Troy Brown Jr. 👀

Comparisons between NAW, Shake, Nowell and McLaughlin. https://x.com/HowlsAndGrowls_/status/1702291107122466961?s=20
We had a lot of inconsistent and rotating bench minutes last year. NAW and Shake consistently having minutes from the start of the season will do wonders.

    You’re gonna be complaining about those guys too.

    This is a reason on the margins for some improvement but to me not the “reason number one”

    Also Austin Rivers gave us some nice minutes when he was deployed correctly.

    Matt Ryan only played garbage time.

    Nowell was a disaster, I feel bad for him it was a huge year for him, hopefully he finds his way in this league.
