Straight up, I think we overestimated Ant's ability to carry the team right now. He misses Towns more than people thought. Now we need to build the team around Ant in a way that empowers him again.
Most people didn’t predict that Jaden, Conley and Rudy would regress so much. It’s time to adjust the starting lineup bc 3/5 of the players are practically useless
I would try to run ant more through the post. Some of the players Ant always gets mentioned as similar operated in that post. Might be tougher when Rudy is out there, but when Rudy sits space Naz and Randle and let Ant post up and pick apart the defense.
Let's not forget, this is only his 5th and he's playing with essentially his 3rd different team. He started with the whole group with D'Lo and Pat Bev. Then we had the Gobert trade, and then later the Conley trade and he had a couple of years of that, and now they trade away KAT for a ball-dominant forward and a streak shooter, who is, hopefully finding the range. It's a lot to get used too.
Everbody knows he and Kat were Batman and Robin, and it didnt matter who Robin was. They leaned on each other and complimented each other... How did Connelly not know this?- we all did.
@@kurtwagner350 it was definitely connelly, hes the one doing trigger happy decisions, now he have two players thats hard to move when he threw towns out of the bus. wolves fans know towns is not in the table for trades before connelly arrived, a lot of teams often inquires about kat trade availability and value every season. did conelly ever transact a trade thats a "better trade package" than "randle+divo for kat"? as far as i remember we gave up the future with the gobert trade (multi first rounds), thats why we have to let go of valuable players (prince, vando, dlo, pat). to put it simply the org traded multiple 1st rounds picks + kat for gobert and its once in moon that wolves will be able to acquire a player like kat again.
The biggest issue is Ant doesn’t trust this team. He is playing with guys that can’t score so they can’t take the pressure off him. Hope Tim Connelly has a plan to build a better team around him before he wants out.
Kinda hard reaching out to old heads for advice when you publicly trashed them, saying no one had skills but MJ LOL. Old heads be like, "I thought you had all the skills? 😅
Ant is not passing the ball, not rebounding the ball, not playing pick and roll with the big men on his team. Basketball is a TEAM sport not pickup ball on the playground.
Ant is 3rd in rebounds on the team and he’s a 6’4 guard. He’s 2nd in assists. He passes the ball plenty but when you have McDaniels shooting 31% from 3 and Conley shooting 35% with Gobert, there’s not much you can do. The offensive system Finch runs is terrible. Maybe lay off the drugs
@SlangSchool - Ant is the starting sg, Conley is the starting pg. Ant is barely top 30 in touches per game and top 20 in avg time of possession. He doesn’t have the ball as often as everyone thinks. His primarily role is to end possessions when the offense breaks down, which is unfortunately often bc Chris Finch sucks as a coach
I told you the addition of Randle has diminish Edward’s game. Randle has taking over led dog in this franchise, his addition has ruin the chemistry of the team, thanks to Finch. He has chosen Randle over Ant, and mark my words Ant will ask for a trade soon. Yes I said it Ant will ask to be traded. Finch needs to be fired because he sits there and watch this crappy team every night. I personally am on the verge of stop watching. You blame Edward’s but I am telling you it’s Randle. It’s like when you are the dominant alpha and another alpha takes over the pride and you take a subservient role. GET RID OF RANDLE NOW !!!
These comments are crazy yall putting this man down when yall act like the greats don’t go through a tough patch , yall really saying he’s washed because he’s young and tryna figure it out , yalll going to regret this shii when he start balling then yall come back shii crazy 🤷🏽♂️😒
I disagree bro I like Ant but the guys you name never complain about double teams they found ways to make plays for the teammates Ant needs to know how to get of the ball quicker n than get it back and attack also he needs to be a better passer he did good in 3rd quarter against the Celtics having 5 assists then didn’t do nothing in the 4th
Ant needs to get out of his funk. He’s been dealt a tough problem but this team has to play where to expect each other to be on the court. To loose by three to the Celtics isn’t to bad as they were in the game. To get Randle in the trade wasn’t proper, he scores but wants to be star no. One for the team. NAZ should be on first team with Minot and keep Gobert near the basket and the point guard will work fine. Randle , Devincinzo, McDaniels, Dilly, and maybe Lucas under the basket. This team can put players out to do the job.
Ant is a career 44.6% shooter , that below average, he's not that good as people think , people are noticing how important Kat was for him and for the timberwolves last year and how overrated Ant is
@joshuawilliams2447 Lol. Darnolds stats 5 years ago is just mediocre. Ya beneficiary of a sad easy year. Ya bound for massive regression with the Vets (carrying this team) getting old. RIP
Fake MJ Curry of all the starters in the league has the worse offensive rating. Lmfao. Of 208 bro ranks 168thish. Lmfao. His PER aligns with his career ranking in to the 80's. Same player new year.
Lmaooooo you weirdos hating on us is like the equivalent of hating on the gd kings. It’s hilarious. We really bug you. That’s soft kid. Mad soft. Ant is gonna figure it out just like how KAT did, just like how KG did. You can dye mad about it ya fishhhh.

I think we will still make a trade. Connelly isn’t someone to just sit back and not make a move.
I agree with the takes you had but you can't forget how Minott been playing he been getting mins lately & been playing pretty good
Ya he needs 10 minutes a game from now on in my opinion but the minutes gotta come from somewhere
McDaniels replacement 🤷
Everbody knows he and Kat were Batman and Robin, and it didnt matter who Robin was. They leaned on each other and complimented each other...
How did Connelly not know this?- we all did.
It wasn’t Connolly (although he could’ve found a better trade package), it was ownership trying to save money.

Ant reminds me of Jordan when he played with the Wizards
Well, I think last year comparaison with MJ didn’t do any good to his young head…
They gonna be fine if all the players stay locked on teamwork 🐺
The biggest issue is Ant doesn’t trust this team. He is playing with guys that can’t score so they can’t take the pressure off him. Hope Tim Connelly has a plan to build a better team around him before he wants out.
That’s Finch’s fault. Ant should get more run with the 2nd unit (NAW, Donte and Naz)
@nydibs last game we saw him not passing to NAW when double teamed, it doesn't matter who is on the court.
Maybe Ant is reconsidering being an NBA superstar.
After just scoring 53 points?
Call D Wade!
My thoughts exactly

@nydibs Minnesota doesn't have PG in the starting lineup, Ant is their main ball handler, he's the PG
@@SlangSchool Mike Conley is their POINT GUARD?? Ant is a shooting Guard

I personally think he looks out of shape, plus having like 4-5 kids last year doesnt help, its hard having kids man

This man has no one other than ju too collapse the defense

Yeah 53 points is overrated alright
Mcdaniels needs to go ... he is not the piece that will keep ANT here ....
If he was to talk down on his teammates yall will love ts 😂🤦🏽♂️
Yall still blaming him
Ts frustrating for him
Yall ain’t true fans fr
Ion care how horrible my favorite player playing ik he’ll figure it out
His teammates can’t shoot
This dude said he a realist but hype up ant like he Jordan or something. Ant has been horrifically inefficient his whole career. Lmfao.
Okay Vikings have been doing great tho 😩😈skol only team I care about rn
