ESPN projection model has the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Play-In??!?
In a shocking twist, Kevin Pelton’s win total projections at ESPN have the Minnesota Timberwolves projected to finish in the Play-In. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the several reasons why a 42-win projection is completely off-base, from Anthony Edwards’s continued rise, the relative inconsequence of replacing end-of-rotation players with rookies, and what a reasonable win total looks like for the Wolves.

It's not the least bit surprising but analysts are frustrated how much better we have gotten, but who is anyone to say that we are going to be in the plan-in..??
Isn't it past time to express that ESPN is basically irrelevant? ESPN has so many agendas it's hard to keep them straight. I don't understand the media love for Memphis. I understand that injuries and suspensions tanked their last season, but the slurping of Morant and JJJ is unbalanced. JJJ has yet to really consistently impact winning and Morant has proven, on his own, that to trust in his production is faulty. They didn't really incorporate Marcus Smart very well. Zach Edey could be great, or he could be pedestrian and get in the way of Ja's drives and JJJ's game near the basket.
Duh, fake mj overrated. Simple
Towns holds the team down to low expectations
Not shocking they said similar things last year . Unless one of our starters get hurt and misses significant time don't see us finishing lower then 4th seed
the kat news 😿
This may be more of a reality now 😂
Who da fook is Pelton lol no one cares about that scrub. We all know how good the Wolves are! We dont need bums validating our presence. Just look how dumb this list is. Kings at 4? Cmon lets stop giving these type of fake basketball fans attention. GSW at 7 omg its gets worse as i listen.
