Mike Conley has been a crucial part of the Minnesota Timberwolves over the past two and a half seasons. His blend of playmaking and 3-point shooting is valuable to the Wolves. However, Conley will turn 38 shortly before his 19th season and has shown signs of decline. This past season, he averaged just 8.2 points on 40 percent shooting from the field. Conley can no longer play heavy minutes, but the Wolves might need him to.
What is Conley's role?
Let’s be clear, Conley still provides the Wolves with some value. He is a high-IQ playmaker who orchestrates the offense nicely, and he is a high-level outside shooter netting 41 percent of his triples this past season.
