Heading into the 2025-26 season, point guard play is a key concern for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Specifically, many believe Mike Conley will continue to decline at 38, and second-year guard Rob Dillingham isn't ready for a bigger role. Last season, Conley averaged a career low of 8.2 points and 24.7 minutes.
Conley has clearly declined as a shot-creator and is more of a defensive target, with his mobility also taking a step back. However, his playmaking and 3-point shooting are still top-notch. As a result, Conley's impact with the Wolves this season might surprise you.
