The Minnesota Timberwolves completed an undefeated preseason behind an impressive first-half performance from Anthony Edwards. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the Wolves’ win over the Chicago Bulls with a focus on the chemistry shown between Edwards and Rudy Gobert, as well as what a big lineup of Gobert and Naz Reid was able to do against a small Bulls unit. Also, the second half featured only bench players for the Wolves. How did they fair, and who helped or hurt themselves with a final preseason performance?

ant get’s his shot whenever he wants. next step in his evolution is to give his guys easy baskets.
Everybody wants ant to get to the line more. Some of the problems are 1) players just get out of the way 2) he's so explosive they can't catch up to foul 3) he's elusive enough where there hands aren't quick enough to hack him.
👍
Teams haven't just sent a smaller guy to gobert, but they have done that with KAT as well. Those two really need to be better at backing down those smaller guys and shooting over them. Rudy had three guys on him underneath the basket. He should have been able to find someone out on the perimeter. A turnover in that situation is just unacceptable. He can't keep doing that in the regular season. He is going to see that a lot when he's out on the floor
GREEN LIGHT for ANT 🐜
Tyrese Martin is the truth
They needed to put Tyrese Martin on ball he is tough
LOVE the depth. now….who did we trade to get Rudy? WHO CARES! who really cares….
maybe Vando could make this team – that's it.
this depth is the best ever on a T-wolves team
and the trade of D-lo was genius. a crafty pass first point, a backup shooter and a pick.
did we trade too much draft capital in all the trades (Rudy)? probably. but they'd be late 1st rounders. and we can find free agents just as easy
i'm all in.
stay healthy. conference finals this year if we do. maybe even more….
Great content as always ben.
Ants show attempts were not perfect. He makes things harder for himself because he holds the ball for so long. And the Ant and Rudy vibes seem very overblown. Rudy still clogged the lane and the only reason Qnt got that dunk is because Rudy was for whatever reason near the 3 point line. Nothing was clearly worked on seeing how ant missed a pass to him and that hook pass was pure luck.Ant even laughed about it.
