In the offseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves made a huge trade for Rudy Gobert. The organization did so to create a potential superteam that would pair Gobert with the dynamic duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. Throughout the offseason, the Timberwolves were hyped as one of the teams to watch this season.
But in the first 10 games of the season, the T-Wolves have a record of 5-5, and they hold the 10th seed in the Western Conference. While many have put the blame on Gobert’s shoulders, there is a narrative for Edwards not being at the top of his game either.
Last season, Edwards took the leap and mesmerized fans with his insane dunks and explosive athletic ability. But this season, that skill is missing from his arsenal. Edwards even pointed out he isn’t dunking this season due to opposing teams flooding the paint area.
Anthony Edwards Looks Uninterested In Playing For The Timberwolves
In the Timberwolves’ recent win against the Houston Rockets, Edwards recorded 19 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. The 21-year-old had an acceptable performance against the Rockets. However, there was one play during the matchup that surprised most fans.
It can clearly be seen in the clip that Edwards stood still for the entire play. Upon seeing that, most fans were surprised and called out Edwards for not getting involved.

markserrano: That doesn’t look like a winning player.
Most fans were not happy after seeing this behavior from Edwards. He’s considered the future of the Timberwolves, but if he wants to become the face of the league, he needs to change this attitude.
