There’s no point in sugarcoating it, the Minnesota Timberwolves offense stinks right now. Through eight games, the Wolves rank 24th in Offensive Rating (109.9 points per-100 possessions). Needless to say, that’s not what anyone expected from a group with a mixture of capable shooters, ferocious slashers, and size to punish teams at the rim and on the offensive glass. At the very least, the thought was that the two-man groupings of D’Angelo Russell/Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards/Karl-Anthony Towns would give the Wolves two dynamic pairs to anchor elite offense at all times.
Instead, the Wolves are shooting 32.
