The Minnesota Timberwolves are DANGEROUS…

The Minnesota Timberwolves are DANGEROUS…

The Minnesota Timberwolves have got to be one of the NBA Championship favorites right now sitting at 36 and6 first in the western conference with the best defense in the NBA buty subpar offense okay so what do they do about that at the deadline they go out and get one of

The best backup point guards in the NBA and Monte Morris to help their offense flow whenever Mike Conley goes out Anthony Edwards is a monster and their big man Duo of Carl Anthony towns and Rudy goar has been very solid this season it looked like like last year the

Twin Towers weren’t going to work out but this year they have been exceptional Nas Reed has been fantastic Off the Bench they are third in three-point percentage and Ninth in field goal percentage it’s just that bench sometimes gets the offense a little bit out of sync um their two big guys are

Extremely efficient which allows Rudy to play in the paint at the same time as them uh starting with Carl Anthony towns 22.7 points per game 8.6 rebounds three assists 33 minutes a game for him they should be 37- 15 right now because the game he dropped 60 in against the

Hornets no way on Earth they should have lost that game but he’s shooting it better than most guards in the league uh 52% from the field 44% from three on 5.2 attempts and 88% from the free throw line that is crazy right there for a seven-footer he’s operating on the

Perimeter because of the fact that Rudy goar is camping out of the paint it’s crazy last year he only shot at 37% from three on 5.7 attempts this year up 7% on you know the same amount of attempts so really good numbers for Cad and then Nas

Reed has been a bit of a breakout so far for this Timberwolves team really good six-man type guy 12.3 points per game 4.6 rebounds 1.1 assist 23 minutes a game for Reed so far this year he’s been like I said really good for this Timberwolves team Off the Bench he’s all

Also almost shooting 50490 efficiency uh 49% from the field 41% from three 4.3 attempts what makes this team so special is they have two seven-footers they can operate on the perimeter while also still having uh Rudy goar one of the best perimeter or interior defenders in

The world uh camp out in the paint per 36 he’s averaging 27 and a half points on really good efficiency as well as 1.2 Steals and a block uh he’s also on a really really good contract right now Great Value extension only making about

13 14 million a year for a guy that can do that that that’s pretty premium right there especially for a Timberwolves team that is kind of in salary cap hell right now because of you know some of their other contracts 12.6 points per game for Rudy

Gobear about 13 or 13 points about 12 rebounds um a few blocks 65% shooting from the field on nine field goal attempts for the 31 year old I mean he’s still balling he’s he’s a big reason they have that number one defensive rating he’s actually got the number one

Defensive rating on the team per 100 possessions I mean this team is really good and then on offense the guy that makes makes him go is Anthony Edwards they young scoring Wing so they got two seven-footers that operate on the wing and then you got this guy an ultra

Explosive 6 foot five Michael Jordan clone averaging 26 points a game 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assist just does a little bit of everything for the t-wolves uh he has really routed into form as a 22 year old 47% shooting from the field 40% from three 6.5 attempts

Per game like I said for the 22y old top what shooting guard I don’t know um top three maybe top five for sure maybe top three I don’t know there’s some good shooting guards um looking at his shooting improvement though sophomore season he shot at 36% from three last year 37%

From three and then this year 40% from three so I mean he keeps getting better from downtown he’s been really solid make sure you hit the like button leave me a comment down below and hit that subscribe button if you are enjoying today’s video at any point as you can

Are coming back soon now let’s take a look at the elite point guards this Timber roles team has with Mike connley and now adding in Monte Morris they have two of the best floor managers game managers whatever you want to call them on the in the NBA right now uh Mike

Conley is the highest rated non-big man on offense in NBA history which is crazy um and second is Shay go Alexander this year to put that into perspective a little bit you see his numbers on the year he’s 44 % from the field 44% from three on over five attempts he only

Averages one turnover to go against his 6 and a half assists per game the dude’s monster um now Monte Morris only played in six games so far this year but let’s take a look at his final season in Denver when they were you know competitive unlike the Wizards last year

He averaged 12.6 points 4.4 rebounds and three assists per game while shooting at 48% from the field 40% from three on over four attempts per game and averaged about 29 minutes a night Monte Morris added into this Timberwolves rotation I think it makes them that much better um

He’s going to be an elite backup point guard so you got Conley ant um McDaniels and then the two bigs and you got n Reed Monte Morris and some wings Off the Bench that’s a good looking lineup right there um now the number one defense the number one opponent’s points per game

Largely in part to this big three in there being able to have so much length on the court anchored by Rudy goar um ant is a good defender in his own right this year but between these two these are two of the better defenders in the NBA and now we talk about Jaden

McDaniels because we already talked about Rudy goar a little bit but McDaniels on the year is averaging about 11 points 2.7 rebounds 1.4 assist and one steal honestly not not having quite the year I expected from him after he signed that massive extension because he is only shooting at 37% from three which

Is I mean it’s serviceable but it’s not good for a guy that’s making like 130 million over the next five years 51% from the field not bad though uh certainly that is efficient enough but overall would like to see a little bit better three-point shooting from Jaden

McDaniels now as I mentioned they have some wings coming off their bench uh nikil Alexander Walker only years is averaging about 6.8 points per game about two rebounds 1.5 assists per game and one steal you know off their bench the bench unit is looking much better now after the deadline with a solid

Backup point guard in Monte Morris they sent away Shake Milton so 42% from the field for nil Alexander Walker only 36% from three not great but he is a good Defender Kyle Anderson same thing uh slowmo he’s having a really good year actually 6.2 points 3.5 assists four

Rebounds stuff in the stat sheet with a steal per game as well I mean solid Year from him he’s shooting at 47% from the field 20% from three on point6 attempts is not fantastic in 21 minutes a game but you know he’s getting up there in ag

But he’s filling up the stat sheet in other categories and then Troy Brown Jr uh he’s averaging about 4.2 points per game um two rebounds one assist in 11 minutes per game and I mean yeah solid bench unit solid Wings would like to see the rookie uh get a little bit more time

Leonard Miller he’s one of their highest rated Defenders but you know maybe they’re just grooming him maybe he’s not quite ready maybe they’re grooming him for next year I would also like to see Wendel Moore maybe get a little bit of PT we’ll see though looking at the

Outlook for this year they are the number one seed in the Western Conference if the season ended today there’s kind of that that top group of Minnesota OKC the Clippers and the nuggets and then the suns are all the way up into the five seed they got the

Clippers um and a couple of kns and they got a couple of games against the Blazers so you know should easily take two of the next three maybe three of the next three we will see that Clippers game will be a very fun one uh when it comes to determining the landscape of

The top of the league but yeah that being said that’s going to be it for today’s video thanks so much for watching make sure to like button and hit that subscribe button if you did enjoy at any point leave me a comment down below and let me said Thank so much
