Your best player needs to grow up. Too much kid in him still, once he does though. Championship

What guarantee is there that he will? Or even any evidence he will? Some players never do. Being flashy and being able to dunk really well are no guarantee that you'll be a great basketball player. I've heard for about 3 years now how great he is and still haven't seen it.

Well considering he has Minnesota in a place even KG couldn't do I think he's on the right path. He just needs to put away the video games and become a gym rat like all the great ones.

Wolves hanging around. Just keep it close and maybe they have a shot at stealing this late.

33 wolves 2 pt attempts to 30 and yet over double ft disparity.

Good player but some of his passes and attempted finishes at the rim are complete head scratchers.

Minnesota’s defense is so bad when Rudy Gobert isn’t there to carry it.
