Timberwolves' fatal flaw is painfully obvious after first week of the season

Heading into the season, the Minnesota Timberwolves' lack of a point guard was well-discussed. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the Wolves' point guard play has already hurt the team. Just hours before the season, it was announced that Donte DiVincenzo would replace Mike Conley in the starting lineup.

This allowed the Wolves to adopt a point guard committee approach, with DiVincenzo, Anthony Edwards, and Julius Randle all taking on playmaking duties. Mike Conley's 18 minutes per game currently leads all Wolves' point guards. Regardless, it's worth noting that the 38-year-old was averaging just 11 minutes before Edwards' injury.
