We’ve previously covered some of the early ESPN Summer Forecast articles that were largely complementary of the Timberwolves and their off-season.
The series continues on, and the most recent editions include a roundtable with a couple of Wolves mentions and the Western Conference standings forecast which prompted said roundtable.
First, the standings forecast. The Timberwolves were predictably slotted in after, in order: Golden State, Houston, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City. That puts them in the fifth seed, with a record of 48-34. They’re followed by Denver (46 wins), the Clippers (45 wins), and Utah (44 wins).
