Maybe. But they lost to the Lakers tonight by only 8 points and Anthony Edwards had 28 points on 50% shooting with 7 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal, and 2 blocks. In his last 6 games, he's averaging 20 pts, 5.7 reb, 3.5 ast on 46% shooting. If he starts to figure it out, look out. These guys won't be good, probably, but they can definitely improve and move up the standings.
He just looks different too - and I havent really checked, but my guess is that less DLo = better Ant-Man. This DLo injury is a huge blessing in plain sight for the Wolves.
Would say blessing in disguise but I dont think many Warriors, Wolves, or Lakers fans will be surprised that the Wolves look better without him, and it allows Ant to try himself out as a lead scoring guard. Which so far has suited him very well
Now I don't believe the Wade hype, and I can't forget how poorly he looked early on in the season, but I think Wolves fans have to be very happy with what they've seen lately, and I'd imagine that DLo will once again be on the block in the offseason, KAT be damned. In fact, might make more sense to trade KAT in the offseason if they can't bring in a defensive complement to him.. without a complement, KAT is a fatally flawed star
