Happy New Year! Well, for the Minnesota Timberwolves, they probably don’t feel much like celebrating after their blowout loss to the Atlanta Hawks on New Year’s Eve. The Timberwolves currently sit 21-13, good for sixth-best in the Western Conference. Solid, but more was expected after back-to-back conference finals appearances.
Here is a number that each of the members of the Timberwolves' starting lineup should look to improve on in the 2026 portion of the schedule.
Anthony Edwards - assists
Many believe that Edwards is a top-10 player in the league. The players who are almost universally seen as the best of the best (Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo) consistently put up video game numbers in numerous categories on a season-by-season basis.
