This year, they selected Edwards with the top pick, but Edwards' growth should not meet their expectations. And Russell is still recovering, and the lineup of Timberwolves is not neat. Although firing the young coach can help the Timberwolves get better results to a certain extent, there are too many young people in the team now, and the way they play football is often lazy.
Timberwolves really need leaders like Butler to lead them to victory. Recently, the one introduced by Baidu was Butler who led the team into the playoffs. Now Downs is said to be the first-line center in the league, but his fighting spirit is insufficient. A lot of times it's like paddling. Often they can't win a close game, and they can't beat a strong team.
Timberwolves used to be a team with a long history, but since Garnett retired, it seems that it has never recovered. No matter how many young people you choose, you can't lead the team to rise. I think it's time to rebuild the culture of their team and choose an experienced head coach. Young players are important, but the team also needs a certain number of veterans.
The Timberwolves are now the last in the West, even worse than the Rockets, who will rebuild this season. Visually, the timberwolves can win the first place again this year. But they are always in this cycle of smashing outstanding young people, which is of no help to the rise of the team. I hope they can make progress after changing coaches this year. Although it is hopeless to enter the playoffs, it will be helpful to the future if we train young people.
