Let's get into it.
It’s hard to guarantee a playoff spot in the Western Conference, no matter how good your team is. This past season, the Pelicans (Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday), Trail Blazers (Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum), Kings (De’Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley), and Spurs (DeMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan) all were projected to miss the playoffs.
A lot of the question surrounding whether the Timberwolves will make the playoffs will revolve around the question of if Minnesota can surround their two-star players with players that compliment them really well.
