Among the great confirmations of this season we cannot fail to mention the The Minnesota Timberwolves. The team led by Anthony Edwards is currently in third place in the Western Conference with a record of 49-22, just a few games away from first place occupied by Denver Nuggets. The team of Chris Finch has found one of its cornerstones in Anthony Edwards, playing as a guard. Edwards was sure enough to say about the team’s good season: “I said we would be in the top 3 in the West”
Timberwolves, the Anthony Edwards prophecy: “we in the top 3 in the west”
Anthony Edwards explained his feelings already while he was busy with Team USA in the FIBA World Cup of Manila, finished in fourth place by the team coached by Steve Kerr: “I told them we’d be top three in the West and they said, ‘No, you’ll be in the play-ins again, if that goes well.’ I actually told them that Orlando was going to make the playoffs. I told them Tyrese Haliburton was going to be in the play-ins. I told them New York would be a good team to watch.”
All prophecies right by the good Edwards. Minnesota is third in the Western Conference1.5 games away Denver Nuggets. The Orlando Magic I’m in fifth place Eastern Conference (42-29 record). The Indiana Pacers Of Tyrese Haliburton they are sixth in the East with a record of 41-32 and would automatically be in the playoffs if the season ended today, it must be remembered. THE New York Knicks they confirmed themselves as a good team. Coach Tom Thidobeau he gave them great defensive strength and their record (43-28) relegates them to fourth place in the East.
Returning to the Wolves, it is undeniable how Ant-Man has been one of the main reasons for the rise of Chris Finch’s team this season. With averages of 26.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, Edwards has established himself as one of the best young players in the league, someone who could pick up the baton when the likes of LeBron James, Stephen Curry e Kevin Durant they will retreat.
To establish himself even further, Edwards should succeed in the greatest feat: bring that ring which has never been seen in Minneapolis. The style and charisma of the Atlanta native are not enough to be remembered even after his career. Ant-Man he must win and prove that he is capable of taking his team to the next level. A level never reached by Minnesota.
