The Minnesota Timberwolves finished a season where they couldn’t get things done and barely made it to the Western Conference Finals. In the end, they succumbed to the Denver Nuggets in the first round, leaving a lot of doubts about their roster.
The Rudy Gobert trade was heavily criticized by fans all season long, and now it’s time for the Frenchman to step up. To do so, he’ll have the help of Anthony Edwards, who’s traveling to France to work out with the three-times DPOY.
“Man, I love Rudy. Me and Rudy got a great understanding,” Edwards told Chris Hine of the Star Tribune. “We talk all the time, and I think he can get a lot better as far as catching the ball, jump hooking. I tell him all the time, like ‘Rudy, I’m [going to] throw you the ball every time. I want you to jump hook or money dunk on somebody,’ and he be like, ‘I got you.’ This summer we’re going to get together and work on it.
“… He told me to trust him, and I started trusting him and giving it to him and he’s making the right play. Shout-out to him, he kept making the right play in the pocket whether he was finishing or kicking it out. I trust him.”
During the season, there were many rumors about Edwards’ stranded relationship with Gobert. The shooting guard was caught liking tweets dissing this trade, but he always made sure to praise the center. He once explained the defensive impact of Gobert, clarifying that there’s no bad blood between them whatsoever.
Anthony Edwards Has Big Aspirations For His NBA Career
Edwards remains one of the most promising players in the NBA right now. The former No. 1 overall pick has set big expectations for himself in the league, even claiming he’s chasing Michael Jordan, something that people who played with him believe he can do.
Ant has claimed he’s the best player in the NBA, and the truth is that he’s working towards that goal. He can be a terrific player in the association and become one of the best. He’s set to keep working on getting better, but the Timberwolves need to surround him with the right type of support.
If they make the right moves, Edwards can make a huge impact on this franchise and the rest of the league.
