2024 NBA Power Rankings: Separating all 30 teams into six tiers
5 takeaways from the Timberwolves' preseason loss to Bulls Julius Randle made his Minnesota preseason debut on Wednesday night.
OCTOBER 17 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Anthony Edwards - Struggles with shot in loss Edwards totaled 16 points (6-23 FG, 3-16 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 125-123 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Impact Edwards only sank 26.1 percent of his shots during the preseason loss, well below his 46.1 percent conversion rate from last season. Games like this should be an outlier for Edwards, who is Minnesota's primary scoring weapon and one of the most dynamic players in the league.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Donte DiVincenzo - Records 17 points DiVincenzo posted 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-13 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and a steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 125-123 preseasom loss to the Bulls.
Impact DiVincenzo struggled with his shot on Wednesday, but his new role as the sixth man for the Timberwolves looks secure. DiVincenzo's skill set will allow him to fill in at several positions, and his potential is uncapped despite the reserve role to begin the season.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Leads team with 18 points Minott posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 125=123 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Impact One shouldn't read much into Minott's performance. The 2022 second-round pick is trapped in a crowded depth chart that won't give him many opportunities to move up. Although he shows promise and signed a new deal in the offseason, his participation will be limited.
