Sure he does. The problem is it seems like he knows it too. I worry that he feels like he deserves more than he's earned to this point. He's not going to be handed minutes on a WCF team just because he was a Top 10 pick. There's still a bit of an immaturity to his game, which is a major detractor I think.
8. Minnesota Timberwolves
Projected wins: 43.7
ESPN BET over/under total: 49.5
Why they project to be worse than their total: The Timberwolves were one of my model's big misses a season ago, winning 49 games while projected for 42.7. In part, Minnesota benefited from favorable health on the perimeter. Nickeil Alexander-Walker's departure means one of the Wolves' young guards will have to step into a rotation role, and Terrence Shannon Jr. -- the most likely contender ahead of the season -- projects poorly. But don't blame Minnesota fans for thinking their team is underrated after back-to-back trips to the conference finals.
