The NBA is definitely a league that has become heavily reliant on the 3-point shot. The number of attempts from behind the arc rises each season, and big men being a threat from deep is much more of the norm. That was the case for the Timberwolves, who shot a franchise-most 39.9 threes per contest in 2024-25.
Anthony Edwards put up more than 10 per game, and he led the league with 320 makes. While 3-point shooting is so prevalent in the current NBA, it doesn’t mean that the 2-point shot has no importance. As good as the Wolves have been the last two seasons, they also haven’t ranked in the top half of the league in 2-point accuracy in either year.
