Part 3/10:
The defensive structure that had catalyzed their previous success seemed to evaporate post-trade. In last season's campaign, the Timberwolves thrived defensively, but now they struggle. The shift in their offensive style has left star player Anthony Edwards at a crossroads, limiting his ability to penetrate defenses effectively. Edwards expressed frustration over the lack of a coherent offense, stating there’s little room for him to maneuver if opponents crowd the lane. As a gifted interior scorer, watching him lead the league in three-pointers made and attempted (an unnatural fit for his skill set) indicates a larger systemic issue.
