After making two consecutive Western Conference finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of winning an NBA championship. However, to make this championship leap, the Wolves are counting on internal growth from Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon Jr., and Jaylen Clark. The Wolves lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency and are counting on these three young players to step up. Mike Conley is turning 38 in October, which also opens up minutes for these young players.
It sounds great in theory. The Wolves can develop their young talent while simultaneously competing for a title. This could help the Wolves immediately and in the future.
