Teammates say Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins need help, not blame

When it comes to offense with the Timberwolves, most of the attention, expectations, analysis and — when things aren’t going well — hand-wringing is focused on Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.

With reason.

Towns and Wiggins lead the team, averaging 26.5 and 22.4 points and taking 17.7 and 19.2 shots per game, respectively.

But Shabazz Napier said he thinks that when things aren’t going well during a game, the onus might not be on either of those two players.

“This team is so used to KAT and Wigs doing all the work that when it doesn’t happen, we just stand around,’’ Napier said after the Wolves lost in Chicago on Wednesday.
