Con five wins and two losses, and occupying third position in the Western Conference, The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the revelations of the start of the regular season in the NBA. A young team, led by Anthony Edwards (27.9 points per game), with a record that includes beating the two best teams in the league, Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics, and has one of the illustrious veterans in a second youth Point guard Mike Conley, who has become the safest player in the world… at 36 years old.
Conley, in action.
There is no real measurement of safety, but in basketball the ‘norm’ says that whoever loses the ball less has more options. Conley has only lost one ball all season. A. And he was on the first possession of the season – second 43 of the game –, which opened a Toronto Raptors-Minnesota Timberwolves that the Canadians took. From there, a regular point guard maintaining averages of 10.7 points and 4.3 assists in almost 29 minutes per night.
It is a gift from God for our wardrobe, our culture
Chris Finch
Full regularity and security. “It’s a gift from God for our locker room, our culture. He fits perfectly between Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. He is simply willing to do whatever it takes. “He is a great professional,” Wolves coach Chris Finch said about him.
That ability to keep the ball, direct and lead is numerically superior to others in the NBA. He has a ratio of 30 in assists per turnover. The second best in the entire competition in that ranking is Chris Paul, another regular veteran, with 9.4… An enormity in favor of the Arkansas point guard.
Conley defends Dejounte Murray.
The Wolves, then, are a fashionable team. Young, with some doubts about his usual suspects -Rudy Gobert, especially-, but capable of surprising after his first not very successful forays into the post-season. Against Wembanyama in the ‘NBA Cup’ will be his next test of fire.
