Anthony Edwards' injury has reminded Timberwolves of a crucial truth about themselves

When any NBA team loses its star player, it's natural to have growing pains; this is especially true if you lose a superstar like Anthony Edwards. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who are 2-2 in the four full games without Edwards (3-2 if you count the game where Edwards played three minutes), have had their share of growing pains. However, this stretch should also remind everyone how many scoring options the Wolves have.

Without Edwards, the Wolves have still ranked eighth in offensive rating and ninth in net rating. For reference, last year they ranked eighth in ORTG and fourth in net rating.
