The Minnesota Timberwolves have lacked guard play and depth all season long. With these issues, their path to another deep playoff run seemed slim, and it was clear a trade deadline move was necessary. Luckily, Tim Connelly came through and landed Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (along with Julian Phillips) at the deadline. The price of Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second-round picks might seem lofty to some. However, for a Wolves team that lacks depth and guard play, this is a move you make 10 times out of 10.
Crucially, Dosunmu provides an ideal solution to the Wolves' main problems of guard play and poor depth.
