The Minnesota Timberwolves had a higher 3-point rate than any team and were No. 12 in percentage last year. So far this season, they’re taking less threes and making them at a lower clip. But there’s plenty of room for optimism that those numbers will improve in short order. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) explains why things will change. Plus, a preview of the Wolves’ matchup against the New York Knicks.

Hey at least you guys are going to get the chance to defend your play-in championship. 😆
The league is doing a gimmick Monday night were all 30 teams are playing. They all have separate start times with one tipping off every 15 minutes. The Mavs have a 8:45 start time.
D'Angelo Russell last season…
👉 In 1/3rd of the games DBLo played, he shot under 33% from the field taking over 15 shots each game; some games he shot over 20 and 25 shots‼️
👉 So, a THIRD of the games of the season the TWolves must absorb 30% shooting from DBLo from the field. Thats a tremendous burden on his teammates‼️
👉👉 DBLo also shot under 30% from threes in 40% of the games last year‼️‼️‼️
AND in those games, DBLo averaged taking 8.5 threes per game‼️‼️‼️
Oh, but DBLo had a really good season last year??? NO‼️
💥 A third to half of the games, DBLo is an offensive LIABILITY ‼️‼️‼️
💥💥 DBLo takes +15 shots per game and 8-9 threes per game‼️‼️‼️
What's best for the TWolves is to permanently bench DBLo until he's traded to a really bad team free of any pressures to win games.
Knicks fan here. Our perimeter defense is awful. You guys have stars we don’t have any. 😢Your T-Wolves will win.
I really don't understand how poor DLo has played since the play in game against the Clippers…. He averaged 30 points a game against the Grizzlies during the regular season and come playoffs he can't buy a bucket against that same team… I thought the addition of Rudy Gobert would help DLo shine with the elite pick and roll game those two can produce but he has gotten worse… Too bad JMac isn't a great shooter because that would help with regards to the 3 point shooting woes…
