Timberwolves report card: The starters aren't going to like their grades
Wolves starters Anthony Edwards, D’Angelo Russell, Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthiny Towns all could be doing better — especially Russell.Head coach Chris Finch seems exasperated with his team. Guard Anthony Edwards called the group "soft" after another ugly, lopsided defeat to the Knicks on Monday dropped the Wolves to 5-6.
It's fair to say it's too early to get into a full-blown panic as the Wolves look to incorporate Rudy Gobert into their lineup (albeit not in the last two games as he has sat out under COVID protocols), but it's equally fair to say things look ugly right now.
The lack of energy and cohesion is startling, particularly when contrasted with how the Wolves finished last season.
