Part 2/9:
Last season was a monumental achievement for the Timberwolves. They boasted stellar performances from key figures, notably Rudy Gobert, who was recognized as the Defensive Player of the Year. His synergy with Carl Anthony Towns (Cat) was pivotal, catalyzing Cat’s return to the All-Star game while contributing to a top-notch defensive unit. Anthony Edwards made a significant leap, solidifying his status as a rising star by earning his first All-NBA Team selection. Other notable contributions came from Mike Conley at the point guard position, Jaden McDaniels as a perimeter defender, and Nas Reed, who claimed the Sixth Man of the Year award. The team’s overall record was impressive until injuries hindered its potential, keeping them from capitalizing on their home-court advantage in the playoffs.
