Wolves currently have the worst FT disparity this season...the difference between Wolves and 2nd worst team is also pretty big

I'm assuming the last 2 posts have something significant to do with each other.

Plus we commit a ton of fouls. Not getting to the line plus sending opponents to the line is a bad combo.

Considering how bad Prince started the season, I found it surprising that this has been Prince's best season shooting wise..his EFG% has been 56.5%

Setting the standard in three point VOLUME. That’s not an accomplishment,
The guy that’s actually shooting them well has far fewer attempts.

When Beasley is making shots the Wolves are a very dangerous team, unfortunately that has not been the case in far too many games. Looking at Beasley's game log for the season, around a 25% of his games he makes 0-1 3s on 5+ attempts. Compare that to the 2020-21 season where under 10% of his games met that criteria. For Minnesota to take another step Malik needs to drastically cut down on his awful shooting nights.

Or replace him with a high volume, above average 3 point shooter.

It's a race to 190. Kevin Love still holds the record for most 3-pointers made in a season.
1. Love (2013-14): 190
2. Edwards (2020-21): 171
3. Beasley (2021-22): 146
4. Edwards (2021-22): 145

It seems like if we just have any of Beasley, McDaniels, or Prince playing well we get significantly more capable to win. Just that one extra player could make a big difference.

Saunders was a terrible coach. Finch’s first half year should hardly count trying to clean up that mess.
Finch is a great coach

At the very least we should throw out the first five games when he didn't even know his players yet. I count it as 43-45 (.488).
It's not that crazy to think that Finch could be .500 as coach of the Wolves if Minnesota finishes the season strong (19-11 record with 11 games left against teams outside of the play-in and that doesn't count 2 games against Portland, who may be blowing it up). If they win 46 games this year, Finch record will be 62-61. Amazing.

Dane’s podcast also talks about Beasley shooting a similar number of 3s per game this season and last season despite playing around 7 less minutes per game this season. He said it was “a 123% increase,” relative to his minutes played.
