Draymond Green and Anthony Edwards
Minnesota Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards in particular had a breakout season in 2022. Although they couldn’t clear the 1st round of the playoffs, their entry in the postseason was a dramatic one, filled with difficulties. The team kept pushing for the highest possible berth throughout the second half of the season. Eventually, when they did make it to the top 8 contenders from West, they were sent packing in 6 games by the Memphis Grizzlies. But with the addition of Rudy Gobert to the roster, everyone believes that the team is ready to challenge for the title yet again, except the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green.
Draymond Green didn’t consider the Wolves a strong competition, devaluing the mega-trade made by the franchise. For Green, young forward Anthony had special some special message of his own, as he added, “Nah, I didn’t see it. Haha, you know Draymond a fool man. He’s gonna put his two cents on anybody’s comment.”
Can Karl Antony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and Minnesota Timberwolves prove Draymond Green wrong?
Timberwolves showed a huge desire for the NBA title this season as they made Rudy Gobert their primary target while preparing for the upcoming season. The Minnesota team paid a huge price for the French superstar, making sure that they get the player they seek. Minnesota’s marquee star Karl Anthony Towns, excited with the new addition declared that the Wolves team looks set to challenge for the championship this season.
3-time defensive player of the season winner Rudy Gobert certainly would make them a legitimate title contender from the West. But fresh off the Championship run Draymond Green laughed at the idea of considering the Wolves a threat.
4-time NBA champion rather gave a piece of advice to the young Timberwolves team. He said, “I’ve never known Karl Towns to be such a big talker, and this year, especially as of the last few months, it’s been a lot of that. And when you talk like that, you’ve got to back that up.” Green sees the Mavs, and the Suns as a threat to their throne than the young Wolves and Grizzlies.
When asked for a reaction on KAT’s perception, the former no. 1 pick said, “For sure. Adding Rudy puts that pressure on us. I agree with that.” With the addition of an experienced French star, the Wolves have a huge upgrade in the defensive area. Rudy Gobert will also allow Towns to play more freely while commanding the paint area. Anthony Edwards also had shown his abilities last season as he was the team’s second-best performer on the court averaging 21+ points for them He also had 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the regular season.
The trio has very efficient support from star guard D’Angelo Russell. The Wolves also have a potent support cast, capable of disrupting the opponent’s offense/defense on a timely basis. But Draymond Green mentioned a very valid point – backing up the words. Virtually Chris Finch’s team looks good, but how will they deliver on the hardwood will decide their fate.
