Julius Randle is giving the Timberwolves an unorthodox solution to their fatal flaw

If there was one well-discussed flaw about the Minnesota Timberwolves heading into the season, it was their point guard play. With Mike Conley turning 38 shortly before the season, and Rob Dillingham, conversely, being a raw 20-year-old, this was an understandable concern. After the Wolves opted to start Donte DiVincenzo over Conley, it was clear Chris Finch's preferred starting lineup would operate without a traditional point guard.

While the Wolves' point guard play has been far from perfect, Julius Randle has been used as the primary initiator and de facto point guard. Anthony Edwards has taken this role at times, but it's truly been Randle's playmaking that has made this offense work.
