Rudy Gobert - Double-double against KingsGobert amassed 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes during Friday's 124-111 loss to the Kings.
ImpactThe veteran center is up to 11 double-doubles through 15 games to begin the season, a big improvement on his first season with the Timberwolves when he managed only 35 in 70 contests. Gobert has also recorded multiple blocks in 11 games, and his 2.2 blocks per game is back in the range he lived in with Utah. Minnesota is 11-4 so far, and the decision to run it back with Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns and give the duo a chance to develop some chemistry in the frontcourt is paying dividends.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Big double-double in lossTowns logged 27 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 124-111 loss to the Kings.
ImpactIt's his second straight double-double and eighth of the year in 15 games, as Towns finally begins to look comfortable in the frontcourt alongside Rudy Gobert. Towns has scored 20 or more in nine straight games, averaging 25.6 points, 8.9 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.6 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch while posting a 57.9/53.5/90.7 shooting line.

Anthony Edwards - Pours in 35 against KingsEdwards provided 35 points (8-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 17-18 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 124-111 loss to Sacramento.
ImpactThe fourth-year guard led the Timberwolves in scoring as he topped 30 points for the sixth time in 15 games, but he didn't get a lot of help -- Karl-Anthony Towns was the only other Minnesota player to supply more than 12 points. Edwards' game continues to grow, and the 2020 first overall pick is headed for career highs with 26.7 points, 6.0 boards and 5.1 assists per game, as well as in all three shooting percentages (46.1/37.5/86.7).

Harrison Barnes - Pops for 18 in Friday's winBarnes supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 124-111 win over the Timberwolves.
ImpactThe veteran forward has had to settle for a secondary role in the Kings' offense to begin the season as De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis dominate the ball, but Barnes has still scored at least 12 points in four straight games. His 12.6 points per game is his lowest average since 2015-16 however, and his 8.8 FG attempts per game is his lowest volume since 2014-15. Barring an injury to one of the team's younger stars, Barnes' role doesn't figure to grow.
