He reached the Western Final last season, and now he is ranked last, and the star of the house scolds the whole team, playing too soft

The rankings of some teams in the league so far this season have come as a surprise to many fans. For example, the team that performed well last season has not played well this season. On the other hand, the teams that performed poorly last season have a good ranking this season. The Timberwolves are in a surprising position in the West, as they were a team in the Western Conference Finals last season, and this season they are only 12th in the West, fourth from bottom in the West. Just ahead of the Trail Blazers, Jazz and Pelicans.

The Timberwolves are on a four-game losing streak. This season, they have seen a serious decline in all their stats, a serious drop in points per game, and a serious drop in defensive efficiency. You know, the Timberwolves were a very tough team defensively last season. After today's loss, Edwards, the star of the Timberwolves, also scolded the whole team, and he admitted that the current team's style of play is too soft.

Many believe that the Timberwolves' decline this season comes down to a weakened run of things on both the offensive and defensive ends. Towns' departure does have a huge impact on the Timberwolves' offensive end, you must know that Towns is a player who averages 20+10 per game, and the loss of such a superstar has an obvious impact on a team's offense. And on the defensive end, they also lost a player like Kyle Lee, who has excellent defensive ability.

Watching the Timberwolves last season, it should be clear how important Kyle Lee is to that team. Many Timberwolves players don't play with their brains, and Lee should be one of the few very smart players on the team. Not only can he provide good defensive quality on the field, but he can also better organize the team's offense. The Timberwolves are playing a very messy game these days, and although Edwards is a very good offensive player, he is not good at passing. And his passing is extremely prone to mistakes. When he was caught in the opposition's flanks, his pass didn't have any penetrating power at all.

So when the Timberwolves are weakened on both the offensive and defensive ends, they naturally can't adapt. Their trade with the Knicks was considered by many to be a win-win, but the Timberwolves are the loser. Because DiVincenzo has not performed particularly well since joining the Timberwolves this season, he can only average 8.9 points per game, and his shooting percentage per game is as low as 34.8%. And Randle isn't a scorer to rival Downs. So the Timberwolves' deal can be said to be more than worth the loss, and it was also a huge mistake for them to let go of Lee Kyle.
