Is Anthony Edwards the undisputed 2nd best Timberwolves player ever behind KG?
Ant is 22 years old, but he has proved himself as an elite playoff performer and lead Timberwolves past the 1st Round. Which hasn't been done since KG era in 2000s.

The entire concept of this thread is very disrespectful to Trenton Hassel.

Fat Kevin Love was pretty good for Minny

He might go down as the best Twolves player if he keeps this up.

To be fair to Kevin Love, the next best players on his team during his best Wolves years were Kevin Martin, Pekovic, Luke Ridnour (gosh), Michael Beasley etc. They were what would have been a play-in back then. That kind of roster really isn't comparable to what Edwards has around him right now.
That said, winning is usually what matters most, regardless of teammates. So, yea, Ant is pretty clearly the 2nd best Wolf imo.

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

It's pretty clear just into his 4th season he's the 2nd best Wolf of all time.Only player to lead the team to a playoff series win besides KG and clearly the most impactful player we've had since the Big Ticket.
Top four Wolves players of all time would be KG,Ant Man,Big Kat and K Love.

ANT is definitely better than Love, Kevins impact was never as good as his stats and we knew it even at a time. He was Domantas Sabonis, but probably with even less impact, I know it was very unpopular opinion at the time, but rookie Rubio was arguably more impactful, Rubio was actually creating things and playing amazing defense. To me, Minny Kevin Love was epitome of empty stats, most rebounds he got, his team would have gotten anyway, points he scored, other guy could have scored. He was not the guy who would give you a lot when no one else really could. Wasn't a fan.
Ant is way bigger and better star than love was, stats isnt even close to being everything. David Lee and Love had same or even better stats than Pau Gasol, but Pau was way better than both, just an example.

.
With pretty much all of his points being assisted, how do you imagine someone random role players simply replacing his shooting? Also, regarding the rebounds, he was a monster on the offensive glass, despite living outside of the paint. The usual excuse for those kind of players is that they simply aren't close enough to the basket to get rebounds. So, no, no one was grabbing those 14 rpg.
That said, he was clearly more of a 2nd option in his prime, due to his inability to create offense for others or truly draw double teams consistently, unless he was flaming hot.

Kevin Love was 2nd team All-NBA the year before going to the Cavs (before everyone pretends he wasn't a star in yet another LeBron star trio). 26.1/12.5/4.4 on 59.1 TS% - Ant just had 25.5/5.4/5.1 on 57.5 TS%
Two years before that Love finished 6th in MVP voting. Now Ant may pass Love with this postseason performance, but regular season so far I score to Kevin Love.

There is no competition for this honour.
If you have Ant better than Love and Kat, then Ant is the 2nd best Wolfie ever.
After Love and Kat, things drop off a cliff. Szerbiak. Sam Mitchell. Rubio, Terrell Brandon, one healthy year of Cassell. Gugliotta, Laettener, Pekovic, Gorgui Dieng! How about Andrew Wiggins or Anthony Peeler?
There aren't even that many guys who have stacked up a lot of games/seasons on the Wolves.
In only 2 seasons, Gobert is already probably in the top 5 for me. Ant is easily in the top 2.

Not for long. He'll be #1 soon. Also, it's super weird they haven't retired KG's jersey.

I think it’s because KG hates the TWolves owner.
